Prescriptions
How to Order Repeat Items
Tick the items required on the repeat list found on the right hand side of your last prescription and post through the letterbox in the back door of the surgery.
You can apply to register for online services so you can order your repeat prescriptions online. Please visit the surgery with photographic ID and we can get you set up.
If you are registered for the service you can order online using the above link.
Please allow 3 working days for your repeat to be processed.
Prescription Fees
Help with NHS costs
In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:
- those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
- those who are age exempt
- those with certain medical conditions
- More information is available at NHS Choices
Please note this fee is paid to the surgery but is then deducted from the payment made to the Practice from NHS England for supplying this service. Thus the Practice makes no money from charging for Prescriptions.
