Prescriptions

For long-term medication, you may obtain repeat prescriptions from your doctor who will wish to see you periodically for review. Our computerised prescriptions have a counterfoil for you to retain.

Clearly indicate the medication you require with an (X) and leave it at the surgery. It may be posted back to you if you provide a Self Addressed Envelope (SAE).

We do not accept telephone requests as these could create errors.

Prescriptions can now also be requested via e-mail – Click on the link below for the appropriate surgery to email your request. Please include your date of birth, full name and write the drug name as it appears on the box/bottle or on your computerised repeat list.

Three clear working days notice is required in either case.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption 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.

NHS charges

The current charge for a single item prescription is £9.00 (£16.40 per pair of elastic hosiery).
A three monthly PPC is £29.10. This could save you money if you need more than three prescribed items in three months.
A 12-month certificate is £104.00 and could save you money if you need more than 12 prescribed items in a year.

If you 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 Prescription Prepayment Certificate.
