Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on regular treatment from your doctor, a repeat prescription can be obtained by simply posting the repeat slip, e-mailing your request to prescriptions.roysiasurgery@nhs.net or calling in to surgery. 

We DO NOT accept prescription requests made on the telephone. 

If you have any concerns with your medication do not ask for a repeat script—a periodic review of medication is advisable.  This should be organised through your Doctor or the Practice Nurse.

Important: if you purchase any medication from online providers, please make sure your GP is advised so it may be added to your patient records.

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.
