Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions will be available within 48 hours of making the request (excluding weekends and bank holidays). In some cases, requests can be made for earlier collection.

If you wish, you can order your repeat prescription directly through this site. Click on the link above and complete the simple registration form.

We regret we are no longer able to accept telephone requests for routine repeat prescription, in the interests of safety, efficiency and confidentiality.

Please tick the medicine you require on the counterfoil and either hand it in at reception or send it to us by post. If you send us a stamped addressed envelope, we will happily post your prescription to you.

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.
