You can also order a repeat prescription online without the NHS App. This option doesn't require any login or registration. 

Ordering Prescriptions in Person

You can order your medications by dropping off your completed repeat prescription slip at the surgery. If the practice is closed, there is a post box located in the underpass leading up to the rear car park.

Ordering Prescription by Phone

If you are unable to order online or by visiting the surgery, you can call us to order your medications. Please contact the surgery to discuss the eligibilty criteria to use this service.

The Electronic Prescription Service, or EPS, enables prescriptions to be sent electronically from the GP practice to a pharmacy of your choice.  This pharmacy will be referred to as your 'nominated' pharmacy which you can change at any time by letting us know at Reception or through the NHS App. 

With EPS, you will no longer collect paper prescriptions from the practice. It is easy to use, and you do not need access to a computer or electronic device.

We are a dispensing GP practice which has a provision to dispense to patients who live at least one mile away from their nearest pharmacy.

Our Dispensary Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about whether you qualify to have your medications dispensed by the Practice.

Please ring the practice to discuss this option on 01539 722660.

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
