What are the NHS Prescription Charges?

Most adults in England have to pay prescription charges.

Some items are always free, including contraceptives and medicines prescribed for hospital inpatients.

The current prescription charge is £9.35 per item.

A prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) could save you money on NHS prescription costs:

  • a 3-month PPC costs £30.25
  • a 12-month PPC is £108.10

How do I order a repeat prescription?

IMPORTANT REPEAT PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION

CHANGES TO OUR ORDERING SYSTEM

FROM THE 2nd OCTOBER 2017 WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT REPEAT PRESCRIPTION ORDERS THROUGH A CHEMIST – PLEASE SEE PRACTICE NEWS FOR MORE INFORMATION

To order a repeat prescription you can either:

  • Use the right hand side of your prescription indicating with a tick or cross which items are required. Post your request in the repeat prescription box outside the entrance to the building. We require 48 working hours’ notice for all prescriptions.
  • Email your request, include your full name, address and date of birth along with the name(s) of the medication you require. Email to cheshireccg.prescriptionswss@nhs.net
  • You can post your request to us, giving us all the details as listed above.
  • You can request repeat medication on line using EMIS Patient Access – please ask for a registration form at reception.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS FOR REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS OVER THE PHONE due to the fact that errors can be made this way, and we require a paper Audit trail of all orders.
