Repeat Prescriptions

All repeat prescriptions are computerised  and can be ordered in a number of ways:

1. You can tick the items required and place your repeat slip in the order box   at   reception. 
2. Your local pharmacy can manage ordering, delivery or collection for you.  
3. Via this website by registering and submitting your request.
4. Through Emis Access if you have already registered at the practice. 

You will be asked to see a Doctor every six or twelve months to ensure that your treatment is still appropriate.

COLLECTION OF MEDICATION

Due to the increased volume of prescriptions to process, from 1 January 2012 please allow 48 hours for processing prescriptions from request to collection.

Please allow plenty of time for your prescription request to be processed particularly if your requested drugs are not on your repeat slip and need authorisisng by a Doctor.

If you wish us to post your prescription to you please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

Filling in your request form

I.D. Please enter your postcode or patient ID number (on your prescription) in the identification section of the form.

Delivery or collection: If you have an arrangement with your local pharmacy to have your repeat medication delivered, or you simply prefer to collect your prescription from a pharmacy rather than the surgery , please state which pharmacy by choosing from the drop-down list on the form below where is says  "Collect from". Please note If you have never had your medication delivered before but would like to, contact the pharmacy of your choice first.

Under the "Care in the Pharmacy" scheme your local pharmacy may be able to prescribe treatment for minor ailments such as colds, coughs, sore throats, rashes etc. Prescription exemption fees will apply.

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.

Emis Access is a secure way to send your repeat medication requests via the internet. Emis Access allows you to view the items on your repeat prescription and order them at the click of a mouse. You can then view the progress of your request and will be able to see when it has been dealt with. You will also be able to look back at previous requests you have made.

You can also check the times or cancel any existing appointments you may have at the surgery without having to make a telephone call. You can also notify us of any changes in your contact details such as a change of address and make sure we have the correct and current telephone numbers for contacting you if we need to.
