• Via the NHS APP
• Online - click 'Repeat Prescriptions' above 
• Email to: ciosicb.sunnysideprescriptions@nhs.net 
• Click on the online consultation banner on the website front page and follow instructions to order repeat prescriptions
• Drop the request in to the practice. There are post boxes both inside and outside the building
• Post to the surgery

Whichever way you request your prescriptions please ensure you include the following:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• First line of address
• Name of each medication you require  (small pink tablets, heart tablets, brown inhaler etc is NOT specific enough and is not safe)
• The name of the Pharmacy you would like to collect your prescription from.

Please note that we cannot accept requests over the telephone.  This decision has been taken in the interest of accuracy and patient safety.

Whichever method you choose, please allow five full working days before repeat prescriptions are collected from the Pharmacy of your choice.  This is the time it will take to process prescriptions at the practice and then at the Pharmacy.  Please do not call the Pharmacy to check that the prescription is ready for collection as this is taking up valuable staff time and slowing down the dispensing of prescriptions.    

Please use the table below to see when your prescription will be ready for collection.

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

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

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
