About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
Medication Queries
If you have a question about your medication, side effects or how to take it, please consult your local pharmacist, who has great expertise in this area.
You can also use our online form and we will get back to you within 2 working days.
Please ensure that the review date on your current prescription has not expired. If it has, please make a telephone consultation with your usual GP or practice pharmacist. If you are unsure as to whether a review is needed, please make a telephone consultation.
If you have passed the medication review date without having your review you risk not being able to get your medications until the review is done. Please help the doctor to keep a check on your condition by contacting the surgery when requested.
The GP may need to contact you about your repeat prescription, please ensure that we have an up to date telephone number where we can contact you when you request a prescription.
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.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
