Before ordering any prescriptions, please check the review date at the top of your prescription. If the review date is close to expiring or has expired, please book an appointment with a doctor to review your prescription. If you have any queries regarding your prescription, please contact us.

Ways to order your prescription

Please note, the practice is unable to accept telephone requests for medication.

Order online – register for access to our patient portal where you can order repeat prescriptions online.

Order in person – fill in the white side of your prescription indicating which medications you require. Drop this into the Prescriptions post box in the practice.

Order by post – fill in the white side of your prescription indicating which medications you require. Post your repeat prescription slip to the practice indicating which medications you require, using a secure tracked postal service.

When will your prescription be ready?

If you are picking up the prescription from the GP practice it will be ready for collection two working days (longer by post).

Please request repeat prescriptions well in advance of any public holidays.

If you request your prescription to be sent direct to a local pharmacy, when it will be available will depend on that pharmacy. Please contact them direct for an indication of timescales. To nominate a pharmacy for prescription ordering, please contact your pharmacy.

Prescription charges and exemptions

Most adults have to pay prescription charges. Details of the current prescription charges may be found on the NHS website

If you are on multiple repeat medications, you may find it more cost effective to purchase a pre-payment certificate to reduce your prescription charges. Details of these can be obtained from the Prescriptions Authority.

If you are under 18 years old, unemployed, on invalidity benefit or taking certain medications you do not have to pay for your prescription. Please ensure you fill out the reverse of the prescription form correctly, sign it and have proof that you are exempt from prescription charges with you when you collect your medication from the pharmacy.

Some people may be eligible for free prescriptions depending on their age, medical condition, have a physical disability, or receive income support or universal credit. Read more about who can get free prescriptions.
