Repeat Prescriptions

To order your prescription please email: Prescriptions.hmc@nhs.net

Due to Covid, we have changed our prescription request received by the practice to minimize the risk of getting paper prescription through.

Please order you repeat prescription 48 hours in advance. This can be done in the following ways:

• Electronic Prescribing Via your usual Pharmacy, please contact your pharmacy and they will email on your behalf
• Online via NHS APP, you need to create an account first by calling us 
• Paper prescription - please try and keep this request as minimum as possible to protect us and to protect yourself and please request via other 2 options

If you wish for your repeat prescription to be returned to you by post, please send a S.A.E to the practice.

Please note: We do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, pharmacist 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.

• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line
