Repeat Prescriptions

There are several ways you can order a prescription:

Post/ By Hand:

Please request your repeat prescriptions using the computer slip attached to your previous prescription or by written note. Please include a SAE if you wish us to post it back to you.

By Fax:

Fax your request to 01942 481437 remembering to include your name, address, DOB and a list of medication required.

On-Line:

You can also order your repeat prescription through our on-line service via the link at the top of this page.

Chemist:

Alternatively many chemists now offer a delivery service, telephone your local chemist to enquire.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

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.
