FAQs

Do I need to register every time I request a prescription?

No, this only needs to be done the first time that you use the service. When collecting login details please bring a form of ID with you

Why can I not see all my medications on the repeat prescription list?

The doctor who gave you your medicine will decide if it can be put on your repeat prescription list. This is to keep you safe and make sure your medicine is checked before more is given. If it is safe for you to order more online, the medicine will appear for you to order order when you login.

My medication is out of stock. What should I do?

If the pharmacy tells you your medicine is out of stock, ask them whether it is only their pharmacy or a national shortage.

If it is just that pharmacy, you can take your prescription to another pharmacy that has the medicine.

If it is a national shortage, ask the pharmacy to tell you the name of a safe alternative. Then let us know the name of the alternative, and we can arrange a new prescription for you.

Medication Reviews

Patients who take repeat medicines will need to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, practice nurse, or clinical pharmacist at least once a year. This is to check that your medicines are still right for you. You may be asked to have a blood test before this review. A note about your review should appear on your repeat slip.

It’s a good idea to know when your yearly medicine review is due so you can book an appointment early and avoid delays with your prescriptions. If you don’t know when your review is, you can ask at reception.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is an amount set by the Government. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) can save money if you take a lot of medicine.

You can read more about who does not have to pay and how the charges work on the NHS website and NHSBSA website.
