Our dispensary is open all day for the collection of prescriptions/medication, except between 13:00 and 14:00. When collecting your medication please speak to our reception staff as all completed prescriptions will be stored with them. Please allow at least 3 full working days for us to complete your order.

If you have any queries regarding your medication, please don't hestitate to contact our dispensing team.

There are several ways you can request your repeat medication:

Tear-Off Slip

You can indicate the items you require on the tear-off slip of your prescription. This slip can then be posted to us, slotted into our locked mailbox by the practice entrance or directly handed in at the practice reception. 

Order Online

Alternatively, you can order your repeat prescription online through your online services such as the NHS App.

How you collect your medication will depend on whether you get your medication dispensed by us or if you get them from another pharmacy.

Please note that if you live within a mile of a pharmacy, we are unable to dispense to you. 

Dispensing Patients

Please allow at least 3 working days for prescriptions to be processed and ready to collect. Prescriptions may take slightly longer to be ready during busy periods, such as after bank holidays, or if they are speciality items. If you are unsure whether your prescription is ready yet, please contact us first before arriving and we can confirm this for you.

Non-Dispensing Patients

You or your nominated pharmacy will need to organise collection of the prescription forms from us so they can dispense the medication. Unfortunately, we do not use Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). Please contact us to confirm what options are available to you.

Most adults in England have to pay prescription charges. Some items are always free, including contraceptives. Currently, prescription charges are:

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
