Repeat Prescriptions

These are available for some chronic or recurring conditions.

Please make requests by:

• Handing in the request slip attached to your prescription
• Completing a request form (available from reception)
• Fax request to 0121 457 8443
• Electronically via the link below

Your prescription will be ready to collect after 4pm on the next working day after the request is submitted.

Telephone requests will not be taken, other than for housebound patients. We are unable to accept verbal requests for repeat medication. This is for safety reasons, as verbal requests can lead to prescription errors.

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.
