Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will usually be asked to see a doctor, pharmacist or practice nurse at least once a year. This is to review your regular medications. Notification should appear on your repeat slip or online request, or you may be contacted directly.

Please make sure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid delays to further prescriptions.

We need two full working days to process prescriptions, and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. Prescriptions are ready to collect after 16:00.

Antibiotic Guardian

We’ve pledged to be an Antibiotic Guardian organisation and to share information about the correct use of antibiotics with our patients.

The Keep Antibiotics Working campaign which is linked to WAAW raises awareness of antibiotic resistance among the general public and encourages greater trust in doctors’ advice when it comes to whether or not to take antibiotics.

To test your knowledge about antibiotics please visit http://bit.ly/antibioticquiz 

Increased and inappropriate use of antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics has led to increasing resistance to them. We are rapidly heading towards a future where antibiotics no longer work and simple infections could have devastating consequences.

We are committed to working together with patients to ensure that antibiotics are only prescribed when clinically appropriate. By reducing antibiotic use we can keep antibiotics working and help keep everyone healthier.

Antibiotics do NOT work against viruses so they are ineffective again colds and viral chest, throat and ear infections.

Your clinician will only prescribe antibiotics if clinically indicated.

For more information, visit Keep Antibiotics Working.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today and the overuse or misuse of antibiotics is making the problem worse. To slow resistance we need to cut the use of unnecessary antibiotics.

Medication Queries

If they can’t help or you need to discuss your medication with a member of the practice team, we have a practice pharmacist who you can speak with. You can make an appointment with our in practice pharmacist by calling reception.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is an amount of money that you have to pay to get an NHS prescription. This is how much 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 many medicines.

NHS charges

Charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

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.
