Need help ordering your repeat prescription? You can follow our digital assistant by clicking above - it will walk through a step-by-step guide to either get your set up online or show you where to find your test results.

• Patients can order repeat medications online via the NHS App. There is also an online form here: Prescription request
• Please only order your repeat prescription when you are down to 7 days worth of medication. If you need to make a request before this, please state a reason for your early request.
• Allow 5 working days for preparation of a prescription if it has been ordered online via the NHS App or patient access, these requests go straight to your GP.
  If it has been ordered via  our online form it may be longer as there is additional administration work required.
  (Please appreciate that all requests involve, checking and signing by a doctor).
• We do not under any circumstances accept prescription requests over the phone. 

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions
• More information is available at NHS Choices

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

• Prescription (per item): £9.90
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £114.50
• 3-month PPC: £32.05
• a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) PPC costs £19.80 and will save you money if you need more than 2 prescribed qualifying HRT items in a year

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 11 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
