Order Your Repeat Prescription Via Patient Access Online

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can be obtained by leaving a request in the box located in the entrance area at each surgery.

Requests given in at Meir Park Surgery will be available for collection from Meir Park. Requests given in at Meir Primary Care Centre will be available for collection at Meir Surgery.

If you provide the Practice with a stamp addressed envelope we will return your request by post. If you have lost your repeat slip, don't worry you can hand write your request and we will deal with it the same way, but please remember to include your name, date of birth, address, dosage, name of drug and quantity required.

Pharmacy

If you struggle to get to one of our sites then you can always drop your request off with your nominated Pharmacy, they will then get in touch with us to let us know what you required and we will then request it on your behalf.

Various local pharmacies provide a delivery service for repeat prescriptions. Please enquire at your chemist as these services vary from pharmacy to pharmacy.

Most pharmacies will supply "blister packs" a lot of our elderly patients tend to use these and they provide a safe and convenient way to take your prescribed medication. Please check with your local or nominated pharmacy to see if this is something they provide. 

Order Online

You may also order repeat prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page. Please note: Before you are able to use this service you must first have access to your personal registration information. If you don't please ask at reception.

We endeavour to meet the following timescale for repeat prescriptions: 

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

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.

NHS charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
