Repeat Prescriptions

Please Telephone: 0844 477 3311 Prescriptions can also be ordered via the form below.

Please allow 48 hours to arrange; don't leave your request for a prescription until it is too late. This especially applies at public holiday times when five days' notification is required. Requests can be posted to the surgery, handed in to the receptionists or telephoned (if you are housebound or have transport difficulties) to the prescription desk between

• 9.00am - 12 noon and 2.00- 3.00pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday
• 9.00am - 12.30pm and 2.00 - 3.00pm on Wednesday.

Prescription requests cannot be taken through our main switchboard, so if this dedicated phone line is engaged, please phone later. It is very important to use the prescription slip to identify the medication and indicate the chemist to be used. The prescription will be sent to the chemist of your choice.

Prescription Delivering

If you are housebound or have transport difficulties some local chemists will deliver your prescriptions. Please state if you wish to use this service. Please check your medication when you receive it, as there can be no redress once accepted.

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.
