Our prescription line is open from 09:30 – 12, Monday to Friday. You can also order your prescriptions any time via NHS App.
New Patients
Non-urgent advice: Notice
Please note – The practice will need proof of medication (computer printout). If you are unable to provide this, we will need to contact your previous GP for details. It would be appreciated if you could give us this information to avoid any delay. This has been implemented to ensure safe prescribing for all our patients as errors can occur if verbal information is given to our practice.
Please allow 48 hours for repeat prescriptions (not including weekends and bank holidays).
All repeat prescriptions are recorded on and issued from our practice computer and will have a counterfoil attached. This details all your repeat medication. Please tick items required on this counterfoil when ordering. This will help to minimize any errors that may occur. A record of these requests is kept for 1 month for audit purposes.

Prescription Fees
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 at NHS Choices
NHS Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
Prescription (per item): £9.65
12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
3-month PPC: £31.25
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.
If your HRT medicine is not covered, or you also get prescriptions for items other than HRT medicine, you may save more with a 3 or 12 month PPC that covers all NHS prescriptions.
Before buying an HRT PPC, check if you’re entitled to free NHS prescriptions and other help with health costs using our eligibility checker.
