Repeat Prescriptions

If you require regular medication your doctor may put it on to a repeat prescription. This will enable you to get your medication without having to see the Nurse/Doctor each time, although you will be asked at intervals to see a Nurse/Doctor for a review of your treatment. 

Patients can order a repeat prescription in 4 ways: 

1. By coming into the surgery and putting a request in the repeat prescription collection box, situated on your left as you enter the internal lobby door. 
2. By sending us an email to repeats@gp-K84009.nhs.uk. 
3. By posting us the repeat prescription (please include a stamped addressed envelope). 
4. By using the repeat medication request facility at Appointments Online (you need to register for this service, please see the link below) 

For all repeat prescription requests, please ensure that you have clearly given the full medication name, the dosage, and that your name, address and date of birth are clearly marked on the request form. 

Guide to understanding your repeat prescriptions form

Please allow 48 hours before collecting your repeat prescription. You can also arrange to collect your medicines directly from your local chemist (please ask reception for details). Please allow longer for this service.

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.
