Repeat prescriptions

You can request a repeat prescription in three ways:

We cannot accept requests over the phone.

Not all medications can be given as repeat prescriptions. For medications that are not on repeat, please book a routine appointment.

Please allow three full working days for prescriptions to be processed.

 

Picking up prescriptions

You can pick up your prescription from the practice or a pharmacy you choose. To find a pharmacy near you, visit: Find a pharmacy - NHS.

To change where you pick up your prescription, speak to reception or use the NHS App.

Medication reviews

Medication reviews help us make sure your treatment is right for you.

Book an appointment with our reception team when your medication is due for review. You can check the review date at the bottom of your repeat prescription if you're unsure.

 

NHS charges

The current NHS prescription charge is £9.90 per item.

Some people can get prescriptions for free. These include:

  • People on certain benefits or the NHS Low Income Scheme
  • People aged 60 or older
  • People aged 16 or younger
  • People aged 16-18 in full-time education
  • People with certain long-term conditions

If you often pay for your prescriptions, it may be cheaper to get a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC). Learn more here:
