How to Order a Prescription

Need to order a prescription? You can:

  • Email us - Send an email to hiowicb-hsi.ohc-prescriptions@nhs.net 
  • Online - Click HERE
  • Drop it in - Tick the item(s) on your list and post it through the surgery letterbox
  • NHS App - Order via the NHS App
  • Visit us or your Pharmacy - Speak to your Pharmacy to request your regular medication

Please note: We cannot take repeat prescription requests over the telephone with the exception of elderly, vulnerable or very young patients.

Repeat Prescriptions

Your GP surgery does not automatically issue repeat prescriptions for you and cannot issue medication any quicker than the time stated, even if you consider it as urgent.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have enough medication, ordering within plenty of time so you don't run out.

Although we aim to have prescriptions ready within this time scale, your local Pharmacy may have their own policy on collection times, once they have received the prescription from us.

Medication Reviews

Medication reviews are important.  

They help us to provide you with the correct on-going treatment and to monitor your condition.

Many reviews can now be completed or part completed by the patient using our HEALTH PODS in the waiting areas which feedbacks the results  to your clinician.

Some reviews can often be done by telephone, others need you to attend the surgery.

Get in touch with our reception team who can help you.  

Private Prescriptions

In some situations, we are not allowed to issue prescriptions on the NHS. A private prescription will then be issued for which a charge may be payable and you will pay the full cost of the medication at the pharmacy.

If you have seen a specialist on a private basis and have been given a private prescription, we cannot convert the prescription into an NHS one.

Help with Prescription Fees

There's a simple way to find out if you're eligible for free NHS prescriptions and any help with other NHS costs.

HRT prescription prepayment certificate 

If you pay for NHS prescribed HRT medicine 3 or more times in 12 months, an HRT PPC could save you money.

Each item on an NHS prescription usually costs £9.90. You can buy an HRT PPC for a one-off payment of £19.80 (the cost of two single items).

The HRT PPC covers an unlimited number of certain HRT medicines for 12 months, regardless of why they are prescribed.

NHS Charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

The current prescription charge is £9.90 per item

Prescription charges are for each item not each prescription. For example, if your prescription has 3 medicines on it you will have to pay the prescription charge 3 times.

Some items are always free, including contraception and medicines prescribed for hospital inpatients.

If you know you'll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions, it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC).
