Repeat Prescriptions
Patients on regular medication may obtain repeat prescriptions without having to see a doctor, until their medication review is due.
Repeats may be obtained as follows:
- Using SystmOnline via the link at the top of this page
- Email wmc.prescriptions@nhs.net with your request including name, date of birth, address and items requested
- By ticking the requested repeat medication on the retained part of your prescription, & posted in the prescription box in Reception or in the post box on High Street (opposite AJs Premier Store)
Repeat prescriptions take a minimum of 48 working hours, please request your items allowing 7 days.
We follow NHS guidelines by not taking any prescription requests over the telephone.
New Patients
Please be aware that your prescription does not transfer with you, you will need to book a telephone consultation with a GP for these to be put on repeat if deemed appropriate.

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