Need Medication out of hours?

Annual Prescription Review

If you are taking regular medications, you will need to have a yearly prescription review. The date of the review is on the bottom of your repeat prescription. For the majority of people this review will be done with a suitably trained nurse. Some people will need blood and urine tests prior to their annual review appointment and the receptionists will organise this when you call for your appointment.

Repeat prescriptions for simple medications including anti-histamines for hay fever and skin creams for eczema often can be renewed by a telephone consultation with your doctor. This can be booked through Reception.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
