Prescriptions
Repeat Prescriptions
If you require medication on repeat prescription we ask you to do this in writing. We provide you with a re-order form along with your prescription. Please tick the required medication and leave the slip in the repeat prescription box in our porch, or in the chemist in Easingwold. You can also send this slip by post, or if the surgery is closed, post it through the letter box. If you do not have your repeat re-order slip, please write an order including the drug, strength, dosage and quantity.
Alternatively you can register with our online service and order your prescription online via the link at the top of this page. Click here for information about how to register for this service.
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
NHS HRT Pre-payment Certificate
Did you know you can now purchase an HRT Exemption Certificate? A one-off payment of £19.30 (the equivalent of 2 prescription fees) can cover your HRT prescriptions for an entire year! Not all HRT medications are covered, but there are currently 43 medications on the list. For more information and to buy the exemption, please visit https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/help-nhs-prescription-costs/nhs-hormone-replacement-therapy-prescription-prepayment-certificate-hrt-ppc
If you already have a prescription pre-payment certificate or any other exemption, then these medications will be covered by this, and you do not need to purchase another exemption alongside your pre-existing one.
Please note, this exemption can not be purchased at the surgery.
Pharmacist Team
We have a team of pharmacists who work for the surgery undertaking a lot of our medication reviews and queries. They work remotely and so contact patients by telephone. Their hours include evenings and weekends so may phone during 'unusual' hours. If you would like to discuss your medication, please contact the surgery and arrange an appointment with a member of this team.
