Repeat Prescriptions

Your medication can be ordered from the surgery in the following ways:

• Online via Patient Access – if you are not registered, you will need to complete our Register For Our Online Services form.
• You can request a repeat prescription by using our Request a Repeat Prescription Triage.
• You can call us on 01453 823144 between 11:30 and 15:00.

We are now using electronic prescribing so the prescription can now go to a pharmacy of your choice (please state which pharmacy upon request), otherwise it can be kept at the surgery for collection.

Please complete our Register for Electronic Prescribing form if you wish to use this service.

Medication Reviews

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

If you have been asked to complete a medication review, please visit our Health Review and Assessment Clinic. 

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.
