Repeat Prescriptions

To request a repeat prescription, please:

• Tick the box(es) on the right hand side of your last prescription and place in the box at Reception;
• You may post your request form with a stamped return envelope and we will return the new prescription to you;
• You may request by telephone or in person at Reception after 11am.
• Online via the form below

Prescriptions will be ready for collection, or will be posted, after 2pm the following weekday (ie Monday – Friday).

If you wish, you can arrange for the Pharmacy (Chemist) of your choice to collect your prescriptions for you and you can get your medication directly from them.

Please remember that if you choose this service, the prescription will be passed to the Pharmacy after 2pm on the weekday after you contact us and there may be a further delay before you can collect it.

EMIS Access

You can now use the EMIS Access online system to book appointments and request repeat prescriptions. You will need to obtain your pin number from reception first. While this system is new, we are continuing to support our existing system for repeat prescriptions.

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.
