Repeat Prescriptions

If you have repeat prescriptions set up by the Doctor you can order them in the following ways:

• Through the NHS App NHS App
• Apply through our online system above. Registration is required – please enquire at reception to be provided with your secure user name and password. You will be asked for identification at the time of registration for this service.
• By ticking the items you need on your repeat request slip and handing it in at reception or alternatively post it to the surgery. Please ensure that you have clearly marked the items you require and state which Surgery site you wish to collect your prescriptions from, Brant road or Springcliffe surgery.

Your prescription will be ready for collection 48 hours later either from the surgery or the chemist of your choice. If you prefer, we can post it back to you (you will need to provide a stamped, addressed envelope).

We do not take repeat prescription request over the telephone.

Medication Reviews

We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor has passed you will be asked to make an appointment.

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.
