Repeat Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Please note that you need to allow 48 hours for your prescription to be processed by the practice before you collect it. If you are ordering via your preferred chemist it may be advisable to order at least 72 hours in advance.
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.

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.
