How to place your order:
In the interests of safety we do not take requests for repeat prescriptions over the phone unless it is an emergency.
Collect from the surgery within 48 hours. Collect from a chemist of your choice within 72 hours.
If you are stable on your medication you can ask for a "Batch Prescription". This will allow you to order 6-12 months worth of medication enabling you to call in and collect straight from the pharmacy. This method also allows you to collect multiple months supply should you be going on holiday or working away.
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:
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.
