Repeat Prescriptions

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS OVER THE TELEPHONE

Please allow 2 working days for your prescriptions to be processed and signed before collection.  Please ensure that you request your prescription a few days before you run out of your medication.

Some chemists will arrange to collect your prescription from the surgery so that you can go directly to the chemists to collect your medication.  If you would like to take advantage of this service please ask at reception.  We can now arrange for your prescription go electronically to the pharmacy of your choice.  Please discuss with either your pharmacy or a member of our reception team to arrange.

As part of changes across Bradford, GP's can no longer accept repeat prescription requests from pharmacists unless there are exceptional circumstances or your medication is in a dossett box.

If you order your own medication this change will not affect you.

The easiest way to order prescriptions is to tick the items you require on your repeat medicines list and return it to the surgery.

Alternatively, you can register and request repeat prescriptions on line.  Please as reception staff for further details.

Requests can be made by either handing them in at the Surgery, posting, requesting on line. 

NOTE: WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS OVER THE PHONE.

ALSO WE ARE UNABLE TO ACTION ANY REQUESTS OR COMMENTS TO ALTER YOUR REPEAT MEDICATION VIA ONLINE REQUEST SERVICE.

If your repeat medication requires amending please contact the surgery to speak to a member of staff.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
