Repeat Prescriptions

To request a repeat prescription you can tick the items required on the computerised prescription form and do one of the following:

• Attend the practice
• Call anytime from 10am
• Post it (enclosing a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you)
• Online via the form on this page
• Contact your pharmacy for request

All requests for repeat prescriptions are subject to 48 hours notice.

Please ensure you either contact your local pharmacy or the practice preferably 1 week before your medication is due to run out.

Alternatively you can send us an email of your request to the following: CAHCCG.sandringhampractice@nhs.net

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see or speak to our in-house pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications.

Please allow two full working days between requesting and collecting your medication.

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.
