Repeat Prescriptions

If you have regular prescriptions there will be a tear-off slip with details of your medication which could be helpful to any other hospital or doctor that treats you.  It is also a re-order slip and patients are asked to use it when re-ordering;  this helps us eliminate mistakes.  Please allow 48 hrs for your prescription to be processed (excluding Saturday & Sunday).

Prescriptions will be available for collection after 3pm.

Telephone requests for repeat prescriptions should only be made by HOUSEBOUND PATIENTS, and these calls should be made after 2.00pm  this helps to keep the phone lines clear for patients calling to make appointments or to request urgent visits during the morning.  You may also fax your request to 01202 877753.

WE ARE NOW ABLE TO OFFER ONLINE ORDERING OF REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS VIA OUR WEBSITE. 

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.
