How can I request a repeat prescription
There are 4 ways you can do this:
Prescriptions will be available in 2 working days excluding weekends and bank holidays. Please allow a few extra days and put your request in to us in plenty of time.
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.
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC – for further information, click here.
There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or clinical pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book this telephone appointment as the doctor may have to stop prescribing your medication until you undergo a review.
There are some medications that require regular monitoring, such as blood tests or blood pressure checks. Please ensure that you remain up to date with this safety monitoring as failure to do so may result in the doctor stopping the prescribing of the medication.
