PLEASE NOTE: The information on repeat prescription ordering is being updated and we hope to offer online ordering in the near future. Please ring the surgery if you need help with this section.

We are a dispensing practice which means that we will dispense new medicines whenever possible before you leave the surgery following your consultation. Occasionally we may not have an item in stock and you will be asked to return within a few days to collect your medicine or you may take the prescription to a chemist.

We require at least 2 working days for repeat prescription requests.

Please hand in your repeat prescription slip to either surgery, or post it to Broadchalke Surgery.

You may also phone 01725 552589 between 12 noon and 3pm, or fax your request to 01725 552029.

Prescriptions requested after 3pm will be included with the following day’s requests.

All repeat prescriptions are dispensed at Broadchalke Surgery but may be collected from your usual surgery. The normal prescription charges and exemptions apply. Usually a month’s supply will be dispensed and you will be advised how often it can be repeated before it needs to be re-authorised by the doctor.

Do You Pay For Your Prescriptions?

Prescriptions are free for:

• Patients who are under 16 years of age or over 60 years of age
• Patients who are under 19 years of age in full time education
• Patients who have a current maternity/medical or War Pensions exemption certificate
• Patients or their partners currently receiving Income Support or Family Credit
• Patients or their partners receiving income-based Jobseekers Allowance
• Patients entitled to or named on a valid NHS Tax Credit Exemption Certificate or current HC2 charges certificate
• Patients whose partner gets Pension Credit guarantee credit (PGCG)

If you cannot get free prescriptions a pre-paid certificate may save you money if you need more than five prescription items in four months or fourteen items in twelve months.
