Repeat Prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment.
Requests for prescriptions can be made in writing; only housebound and elderly patients may telephone their prescription requests.
We are unable to take orders or issue prescriptions at weekends, public holidays or out of normal surgery hours.
We have a computerised repeat prescription system and all patients on repeat medication receive prescriptions printed on our computer.
HRT Prepayment Certificate
From the 1 April, the Government is launching the HRT Pre-Payment Certificate (PPC) to reduce prescription costs for women receiving Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
The HRT PPC will be available to buy in one single payment online at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/hrt-ppc, or in-person at some pharmacies. You can call 0300 330 2089 for help and support.
Before buying an HRT PPC, you should check if:
- you’re eligible for free NHS prescriptions using the eligibility checker: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/check
- your medicine is covered by the HRT PPC. For a list of eligible HRT medication, visit: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/hrt-ppc-medicines
- a 3 or 12 month PPC is more suitable. It covers all NHS prescriptions, not just HRT items. Visit: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ppc
Medication Reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. Please book a routine appointment for your review.

Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine or your prescription please contact the surgery.
Your local pharmacists can also answer any questions about your prescription. They can answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
