Repeat Prescriptions
How to get a repeat prescription
It's quick and easy to set up a repeat prescription online.
The quickest and easiest way to get a repeat prescription is to order online using the NHS app.
Alternatively you can use the following link to submit a repeat prescription request to the practice.
Both of these options require you to nominate a pharmacy for your online prescriptions. Most patients do this when they join the practice, but if you have not already done so you can do this via the NHS app or website - or you can complete this online form.
Questions about your medication?
If you have a question about your medication contact us via the online form or call the practice on 0114 240 3159.

Prescription Fees
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
- 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £114.50
- 3-month PPC: £32.05
- a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) PPC costs £19.80 and will save you money if you need more than 2 prescribed qualifying HRT items in a year
A Prescription Payment Certificate (PPC) for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) covers an unlimited number of some HRT medicines for 12 months, including if they’re prescribed for something other than menopause symptoms.
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.
