Repeat Prescriptions online - Patient Access

The easiest way to manage repeat prescriptions is though the online portal we use called 'Patient Access'. You can use this to request a repeat prescription and we can also choose a chemist  you would like  your prescription sent to to – saving you having to come down to the surgery. 

Please note we will require 2 working days to process your prescription.

Please note we are no longer using Patient Access and will be using the NHS App as our primary option for online services

Repeat Prescriptions online – we use 'NHS App'

The easiest way to manage repeat prescriptions is by downloading the NHS App You can use this to request a repeat prescription and we can also choose a chemist  you would like  your prescription sent to to – saving you having to come down to the surgery. 

Before you use the NHS App for the first time you need to register, but you only have to do this once. Verification takes place all within the app.

Using the NHS App on your phone

If you are a mobile phone user the easiest way to see your test results and patient record is to use the official NHS App.  

You can see: 

  • Your medication and repeat prescriptions
  • Test results
  • Allergies
  • Immunisations

To use it the first time, you will need to have some photo iD such as a passport or driving license so that the NHS can verify your identity, but you only have to do that once.

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

  • those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
  • those who are age exempt
  • those with certain medical conditions
  • More information is available at NHS Choices

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 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
