Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions are for patients with long-term conditions who receive regular treatment.
Prescriptions cannot be ordered over the telephone with the practice.
Please allow up to 2 working days after submitting your request before collecting your prescription from the surgery or your chosen chemist. If your request is submitted over the weekend please remember this will not be looked at until the next working day.

There are a number of ways to order a repeat prescription:

  • Use the NHS app (which you can download here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/nhs-app/)
  • Email – kmicb.prescriptionspumplanesurgery@nhs.net
  • To order online select the Prescription tab on the home page to set up a patient access account
  • By writing a request by letter (please enclose a stamp addressed envelope)
  • By clearly ticking the required items on a repeat re-order form and putting them in the practice mailbox or handing them to a receptionist
  • You can discuss with your regular pharmacy and they can order items on your behalf

Please provide the exact drug names wherever possible.
Please state whether you would like the prescription held at reception for you to pick up, or sent to a specific chemist.
Patients with some chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and asthma will be seen regularly for monitoring of their condition.
Please tell us of any changes to your repeat prescription list made at the hospital or if you stop any medication by yourself
Do not stockpile unwanted drugs at home – return them to your chemist

 

Prescription charges
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.

You can get 3 monthly or 12 monthly pre-payment certificates. This saves you money if you need four or more items in three months.
Pre-payment certificates are also available by 10 monthly direct debit instalment payments. The prescription prepayment certificates allow anyone to obtain all the prescriptions they need for approximately £2 per week.
There is further information about prescription exemptions, fees and PPCs available on the NHS Website

How to apply for a medical exemption certificate
Please speak to a member of the reception team for an FP92A form to apply for a medical exemption certificate.
Your GP will sign the form to confirm that your statement is correct.
Your certificate will be valid from 1 month before the date the NHS Business Services Authority receives the application form.
The Medical Exemption Certificate lasts for 5 years and then needs to be renewed.
