Prescriptions

Acute Prescription.

This prescription will be given to you by a GP and can be obtained from any chemist that has an NHS Contract.

Repeat Prescriptions.

Theses can be obtained in several ways. Firstly by either completing the right hand side of your last repeat prescription form or by making a written request to the practice. Repeat request forms are also available from reception.

Please allow up to 3 complete working days for your request to be processed.

We can also offer patients the option of using the pharmacy2u system which will allow you to have medications delivered to your home or work. They can also manage the complete prescription cycle. To register or for more information please follow the link below.

Repeat Dispensing Prescriptions.

The practice is also part of the repeat dispensing pilot project. This allows patients who are taking medications on a regular basis without the need to change dosage needs to have up to 6 months prescriptions ( 6 x 1 month prescriptions) issued to a participating chemist. The medication can then be collected each month from the nominated chemist. At the end of the 6 months the prescription can either be renewed or, if necessary, an appointment made with a clinician for a medication review.

Prescription Costs.

if you pay for your prescriptions you may find Pre-payment certificates to be of interest to you. These can cost of prescriptions to you.
