 *** NEW *** Order your repeat prescription online

We have recently launched our new online ordering for repeat prescriptions.  Please ask at reception to register for this new service.  Once you have been given your unique Access ID, please click the following link to access the service and follow the instructions to create your account.

REPEAT SUPPLIES OF MEDICINE  If you are taking a regular course of medication the Doctor may issue it as a “repeat”.  If you require a further supply you should either tick the appropriate box on the computer tear-off slip from your previous prescription, or telephone the surgery following the instructions given to you.  Please allow 48 hours before collection, although we do endeavour to have your prescription or medicines ready for collection within 24 hours.  When ordering your repeat prescription by telephone, please leave your name, address and state the name of the drugs and strength required and where you will collect your prescription from. Please speak clearly and slowly.  Please do not leave a message requesting medication that does not appear on your repeat list.  At times you will be asked to make an appointment to see your Doctor before any further repeat medication can be issued.  This can be either a morning or evening appointment.

DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS  Prescriptions are free for:

• Men and women over sixty

• Pregnant women with a valid maternity certificate

• Children under sixteen or up to nineteen in full-time education

• Mothers of babies under twelve months

• People who receive income support (check list on Form P11 from Social Security or Post Office)

If you are not entitled to free prescriptions, a ‘season ticket’ may save you money.  This is a pre-payment certificate, please ask Reception for details.
