Prescriptions
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone or by email.
Please allow us 72 hours (three working days), to process your prescription request. Prescriptions are processed on working days only.
If you have stopped taking a repeat medication, let the GP practice know to avoid waste and unneeded prescriptions and check what medications you have at home before reordering.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering
Your pharmacy can order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.
About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications to the reception desk.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
Use Online Services
The easiest way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Questions About Your Prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Sharps Boxes
We are no longer taking full or used sharps boxes.
You will need to get any new boxes from your pharmacy. Various sizes are available, and your pharmacist will be able to request them on your behalf.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
