Repeat Prescriptions

You can contact the surgery on 01642 242746 to order your medication after 10.00 am.

You may otherwise post it with a self-addressed envelope. 

All repeat prescriptions are regularly reviewed, so after a period of time the doctor may ask you see you.

Your prescription will be ready for collection in 48 hours (except weekends and Bank Holiday).

Some local pharmacies operate a collection and/or delivery service. Please arrange this with any participating pharmacies yourself.  Prescriptions which are not collected within a month will be destroyed.

Electronic Prescription Service will be available from March 2015.  This service will allow you to nominate a chemist and your prescription will be sent to them electronically, thus saving you collection of the prescription from the surgery.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
