All our repeat prescriptions are on computer and you will be given a request slip listing medications you are allowed to order without seeing a doctor.
Requests can be made by ticking which items you require and dropping into the surgery letter box or sending it in by post with a stamped addressed envelope or emailing the surgery: docman.lordshiplanesurgery@nhs.net
Alternatively you can order online via the link at the top of this page.
Please note we do not take prescription requests by telephone.
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.
Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
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:
These 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 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.
