If you are being prescribed a repeat medication you can order the item when it becomes due by either:

• Posting your repeat prescription request in the practice post box located in the foyer
• Ordering it electronically via our online services if you are already registered
• Or via your nominated pharmacy

Please note that you should not wait until you have you have run out of medication before you request your repeat medication as the practice requires administrative time to process all orders.

Please allow up to 48 hours from your request being submitted for the practice to process your repeat request.

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

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.
