Repeat prescriptions must be in writing and can be requested in the following ways:

• In person – put your repeat slip (or a written request) into the designated box at reception having clearly indicated the items required.
• By post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want it posted back to you.
• By email – to [email protected]
• Online – On the NHS App.

To prevent mistakes we do not take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone. 

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

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
