How To Get A Prescription

If you think you may need a prescription, please make an appointment to see your doctor. As a dispensing practice we are allowed to dispense to all our patients who live more than one mile from a chemist/pharmacist.

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions require 48 hours notice (not includ­ing weekends or bank holidays).

Repeat prescription forms/slips are obtained from our dispensary. You may also like to register for on-line repeat prescription ordering (over 16s). For safety reasons we cannot take requests for repeat prescriptions over the phone.

For instructions on how to register please ring our receptionist. 

The Dispensary will only take calls from 2.00pm-5.30pm for any prescription related queries.

This practice has the benefit of a fully stocked dispensary for all patients who live further than one mile from a chemist. Please note the dispensary is closed every day between 12:30 and 14:00 (not the surgery).

Acute prescriptions are dispensed when issued.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Have you signed up for online services?  Patients aged 17 and over can request repeat prescriptions online!
