Please note

• Let your GP or Pharmacist know if you've stopped taking any of your medicines.
• Check what medicines you still have at home before re-ordering.
• Discuss your medication with your Pharmacist or GP on a regular basis.
• Think carefully before ticking all the boxes on your repeat prescription forms and only tick those you really need.
• If you don't need the medicine now - don't order it! If you need the medicine in the future you can request it then.
• If you need to go into hospital, please take all your prescription medicines with you.
• As per practice policy only 28 day supply of medication will be issued.

Only order what you need - wasted medicines waste money

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.
