Certain long-term medications are available on repeat prescription, at the discretion of your doctor. Please use the tear-off counterfoil attached to your prescription to re-order medication, giving at least 3 working days notice. You can post your request, enclosing a SAE, if this is easier.
You can also order repeat prescriptions online. Please ask at reception to register for our online services. If you have already registered for SystmOnline, please follow the link at the top of this page.
Prescription requests cannot be taken over the telephone as serious mistakes can happen this way.
Patients on long-term medication need a regular check up. Your doctor will advise you how often this should be and, if your check up is overdue you will be reminded when you re-order your medication.
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.
