Re-ordering Process
We would like to take this opportunity to outline our Practice Procedure for re-ordering medication, to prevent misunderstandings and delays in receiving your prescription.
- Certain drugs will be authorised by a Doctor for a certain amount of issues before they need to review your medication again, these are known as REPEATS. When you obtain a prescription your re-order form will contain a list of these drugs and how many more issues you may have before you need an appointment.
- Any medication that is not listed on your re-order form, even those you have had before, are known as ACUTES. These drugs may need to be monitored more closely and therefore are not authorised for a set number of issues.
- To process ACUTES more effectively we have produced a Medication Request Form, which is available from Reception or to download below. We are no longer able to accept requests other than those on our official Medication Request Form, so please ensure you complete one of the forms below for every item not on your re-order form.

Prescription Fees
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
