Repeat medication can be ordered by giving the repeat slip into the surgery, at least 3 working days before the medication is required.

You can also order online via your NHS app or Patient Access app,  request your repeat medications by email to: Hiowicb-hsi.RCSPrescribing@nhs.net or your pharmacy can order on your behalf.

Please allow 72 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. For queries regarding your prescriptions,  please email Hiowicb-hsi.RCSPrescribing@nhs.net or telephone the surgery on 023 9241 2846.

We do not accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions.

Your repeat medication will be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that it is still the most appropriate for you. A “Review reminder date” will appear on your repeat slip.

You need to make an appointment for a review as near to this date as is convenient, but before you need any more medication.

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions
• More information is available at NHS Choices

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

• Prescription (per item): £9.90
• If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030
