All prescriptions are computer generated, and if the doctor agrees you may order your prescription by indicating the items you require on your computerised order form. Orders for repeat items can be made in the following Way:

• Place your request in the prescription box at reception

• Via fax to 0151 2953445

• Via EMIS Access at https://patient.emisaccess.co.ukhttps://patient.emisaccess.co.uk/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fSome (Preferred Method).

NB Changes to the service, we will be suspending the repeat prescribing request via this website in the near future, patients now need to register at the above Patient access website.

We do not take repeat prescriptions over the phone, as errors can easily be made.

We require 48 hours notice to process your order.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
