By Post

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice

You must include a stamped addressed envelope for return by post if you will not be able to pick up your prescription from the Surgery. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.

Medication Reviews

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.

Repeat Dispensing

If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from repeat dispensing from your pharmacist.  This means you won't have to visit the surgery every time you need more medicines.

 Further Information

28 Day Prescribing

The West Kent CCG states that repeat prescriptions should be for a maximum 28 days to avoid waste.  A maximum supply of 56 days may be considered if clinically appropriate with the exception of oral contraceptives where a supply up to 6 months may be made. The only exception would be for patients requiring up to a three month supply for travel abroad and this should be an exceptional circumstance.

Patient’s Prescribed HRT

If you pay for HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) prescriptions more than 3 times per year, patients can apply for a HRT pre-paid certificate at a cost of £19.30 (the cost of 2 items).

To see if you are eligible to apply for the certificate please visit the NHS Business Authority Service and appy online.
