Prescriptions

If you wish to use the on line facility please enquire at reception to obtain your on-line registration form.

It is important that you give us 48 hours notice to deal with your request (two working days excluding weekends).Please remember that we do not work Sundays or bank holidays and you should order well in advance to ensure your prescription is ready for collection.

Please note there is a review date on the computer slip, if you have reached this date you will need to consult with the doctor as no further repeats will be given until you have done so.

So that we can process your request in time, please provide us with 48 hours notice for all Repeat Prescriptions.
Once processed, we can send your Prescription direct to your local Chemist for you.

Dispensing

If you pay for your Prescription, the current charge is £7.10 per item.

If you have to pay for more than three prescription items in three months, or 14 items in 12 months, you could save money by buying a Pre Payment Certificate (PPC). The charge for a single prescription item is £7.10, whereas a three-month PPC will cost you £27.85 and a 12-month PPC £102.50. The most convenient way to pay for your 12 month PPC is by Direct Debit meaning you can spread the yearly cost over 10 monthly instalments.

Once your Direct Debit has been set up, the PPA will send you an advance notice showing the amount they will debit from your bank account each month. They will then collect that amount without you having to do a thing. The Authority's PPC Issue Office is responsible for issuing PPCs to people resident in England only, on behalf of the Department of Health. IMPORTANT - some people can get free prescriptions. You should check whether you could get free prescriptions before buying a PPC. To apply for a PPC, click here or phone 0845 850 0030.
