Prescriptions
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
- Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment.
- Please allow at least 7 days’ notice for repeat medication, making allowances for weekends and public holidays.
- Please do not allow your medication to run out before making a request.
- We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.
There is a post box located at the front and back of the surgery, and it is clearly signposted.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
Questions About Your Prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
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.
Further Information
Medication Reviews
If you are on repeat prescriptions, you will periodically be asked to review these medications with a doctor, practice pharmacist or practice nurse. A medication review notification should appear on your repeat slip, or we will let the pharmacist know. This is to keep you safe and make sure this remains the right medication for you.
University Students
If you are returning home from university for the holidays please bring enough medication with you to last while you are home. We cannot issue repeat prescriptions or make referrals to hospitals when you are temporary patient.
The only contraception that can be given as a temporary patient is the Depo Injection as this may fall due when home.
Patients on Holiday
If you do not have enough of your regular medication while you are on holiday, act as soon as possible – do not leave it until it becomes urgent. If you are away from home and need your usual medication, you should visit a pharmacist (chemist) for help.
If agreed with the pharmacist, contact your registered GP and ask if they can send a prescription to the pharmacy.
If your registered GP surgery is closed and you have proof of the medication normally prescribed to you, the pharmacist may be able to provide an emergency supply. Emergency supply is a private service, and you will be asked to pay for the medication supplied.
