Repeat Prescriptions                                 

Important Notice

With effect from Friday 23 February 2018, we will only accept medication requests from you, or your carer.  The surgery has a computerised system for repeat prescriptions. There are several ways to order :

• Use the internet, either a computer or smart phone app (please ask reception for details);
• Post your request to the surgery enclosing a stamped addressed envelope;
• Call in person at the surgery during normal opening hours and complete the request slip in reception

Please allow two working days for the surgery to prepare your repeat prescription, this includes internet requests.  Working days are Mon - Fri and exclude weekends and bank holidays

Please note that repeat prescriptions will only be issued for medication previously prescribed and authorised as a repeat by a doctor. Repeats are not normally authorised for antibiotics, contraception or painkillers. For these you may make an appointment with a clinician.

Your health is your responsibility. This includes the ordering of repeat prescriptions in time. Emergency appointments will not be allocated in order to obtain repeat prescriptions.

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.

Christmas and New Year 2021/22 pharmacy opening times

Pharmacy opening times vary across the Christmas and New Year period.  To avoid getting caught out by the temporary changes, make sure any repeat prescriptions are ordered and that you have enough medication to see you through.

Even during the current coronavirus pandemic, there remains a good supply of medicines. Please only order what you need, and make sure you get your prescriptions before the pharmacy or GP practice closes for Christmas bank holidays.

You can also speak to your GP or pharmacist about ordering repeat prescriptions online.  Across this time, the following pharmacies will be open in central Lancashire:
