Repeat Prescriptions

  Our policy for repeat prescriptions is as follows:

• Patients must provide the name and strength of the medication. 

• GP appointments are not required for repeat prescriptions unless they have requested it.

 Repeat Prescriptions can be requested as follows:

 Order through  Patient Access ( www.patientaccess.com ) 

(same system which allows you to book appointments online)

Please contact the surgery to email your registration letter to you 

Prescription Collection:

All our prescriptions are sent directly to your nominated pharmacy

 Housebound patients may have prescriptions forwarded to a chemist and/or delivery of medication where appropriate.

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.
