REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

When you register with Walnut Tree Practice if you already require a regular repeat medication you will need to make an appointment with a doctor to authorise and arrange our repeat prescription service. 

TO REQUEST A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION 

1. Tear off the right hand side of the previous prescription, tick the items required and drop into the collection box which can be found in reception.
2. Telephone the dedicated 24 hour Prescription Telephone Line on 396271.  This is an answering service. Please use this direct number instead of the main surgery number as you will be connected straight through to the message service.

Please allow 2 working days for us to process your request, your prescription will then be available for collection at Reception.

DELIVERY OF PRESCRIPTIONS OR MEDICATIONS

We have an arrangement with our local chemist, Cox & Robinsons, in that they collect prescriptions from the Health Centre if you specifically request this service, and they can also arrange a delivery of medications to patients who are immobile. Please allow 3 working days, if using this service, for your prescription to be processed and collected/delivered by the pharmacy.

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.
