Repeat Prescriptions

From 1st February 2025 patients will  no longer be able to request prescriptions via the Dispensary Phone. The Phone lines will be open 9:30 - 11:30 for medication queries only.

Allow 48 hours for collection.

The Dispensary will be open to pick up prescriptions between 8.30am to 1.00pm and 3.00pm to 5.30pm. Please note that the surgery is closed every Thursday at 1.00pm. Please also note the dispensary closes daily for lunch between 1.00pm and 2.00pm.

Online services

Order your repeat prescriptions online. Contact reception for further details and to register.

Dispensing

We have provision to dispense to patients who live outside the town boundaries. The Health Service regulations on this matter are strict and this service can only be offered to those patients who register as 'dispensing' when they join the practice or when they move house.

Community Pharmacy Emergency Supply service

In an emergency, when the surgery is closed, a pharmacist can supply repeat medications without a prescription if the pharmacist deems that there is an immediate need for the medicine.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Do you pay for your prescriptions?

Prescriptions are free for:

  • Men and women over sixty
  • Pregnant women with a valid maternity certificate
  • Children under sixteen or up to nineteen in full-time education
  • Mothers of babies under twelve months
  • People who receive income support (check list on Form P11 from Social Security or Post Office)
  • People with family credit
  • Certain chronic conditions

If you are not entitled to free prescriptions, a ‘season ticket’ may save you money. This is a pre-payment certificate, please ask Reception for details.

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 ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
