Prescriptions

If you need a review of medication before your next repeat is due please make an appointment with the doctor. The reception staff cannot authorise updates.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate stocks of medication. If you require a prescription and have not attended for a review the reception staff will take an urgent request and pass to the duty doctor. Please note the reception staff have no authority to override the system.

  • Prescription charges

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.

PPCs are available by 10 monthly direct debit instalment payments. The prescription prepayment certificates allow anyone to obtain all the prescriptions they need for £2 per week. 

There is further information about prescription exemptions, fees and PPCs available on the NHS website.

Dispensary staff will ask for proof of any exemption this is a legal requirement if you are not able to provide they will stamp your prescription evidence not seen and it may be checked by pricing authority.

Fraudulent declarations will be followed up by NHS Fraud department.
