In Person

You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications in the yellow box in reception.

Medication Review

We review any regular medication on a repeat prescription annually and wherever possible the doctor will do this without you having to attend the surgery.

If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due please get in touch with the surgery

Medication Queries

Pharmacists are trained experts in the use of medicines. For many questions regarding your medication, you’ll find your pharmacy a valuable source of information.

You can ask the practice a questions regarding your medication, like:

  • I find it difficult to swallow my new tablet, is there something else I can take?
  • What can I do to help me remember to take my tablets?

To ask about your medication online please contact us online.

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.

When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.

Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
