There are three ways to request a repeat prescription:

• Speaking to the reception team
• Emailing bmcprescriptions.request-enquiries@nhs.net 
• Using the NHS App

We cannot take requests over the phone.

Not all prescriptionscan be issued as repeat items. For all medication that is not on repeat prescription, please make a routine appointment.

Please allow three full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

You can collect prescriptions from the practice, or nominated pharamcies. You can find your nearest pharmacy here: Find a pharmacy - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

To change where you pick your prescriptions up from, please speak to reception or by using the NHS App.

Medication reviews are essential to ensure the best continuing treatment of your condition.

Make sure you book in an appointment with our reception team when your medication is due for review. Check the date at the bottom of your repeat prescription if you are unsure when your review is due.

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): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

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.
