Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on long-term medication you can order repeat prescriptions by telephoning the Prescription Ordering Direct service (POD) on 0300 131 1100.

Your details will be checked and your prescription processed and sent electronically to the surgery for authorisation.

Once authorised the prescription will be sent electronically to the Pharmacy of your choice.

This service is provided by Dartford, Gravesham & Swanley Clinical Commissioning Group.

We regret we are no longer able to accept requests for repeat medication at the surgery.

Please ensure you allow up to 5 working days for your medication so that it is ready when you go to collect it.

PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT ACCEPT REQUESTS OVER THE TELEPHONE AT THE SURGERY.

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.
