You can choose where you'd like to collect your prescription from and we will send it straight to the pharmacy. 

How long will my repeat prescription request take?

It usually takes 3 working days for your request to be processed and your script to be ready at your chosen pharmacist.

Requests submitted after 16:00 will be treated as submitted on the following working day.

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

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 from NHS Business Services Authority

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.
