Private Hospital Prescriptions
Please note:
We are aware of the high cost of some medication prescribed by consultants in the private sector, and whilst we are happy to convert private prescriptions to less expensive NHS prescriptions for your convenience, please allow us 48 working hours in which to do this, as per all other prescription requests.
We cannot consider such requests to be “urgent” simply because the patient wishes to avoid paying a charge, due to our other commitments and the way in which we process the many prescription requests daily.
The medication IS immediately available to you via the private prescription.
Telephone Ordering Update 18/05/2021
Please note that we’re no longer accepting prescription requests over the telephone
We were temporarily accepting telephone requests due to COVID-19 restrictions, for patient convenience.
You can order:
• via your pharmacy
• online access (NHS app/Patient Access/myGP/etc)
• dropping a paper request at the surgery
*Please allow 48 working hours to process your request. If you leave a prescription request on a Friday evening, it may not be ready for collection until Tuesday evening.
Thank you

To make the online service even more convenient, please register for EPS (Electronic Prescribing Service) with your pharmacist: When you request medication, the doctors authorise this and the prescription is sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy, saving you a trip to the surgery to pick up a printed prescriptionAdditionally, use this service if you would like to send us a medication-related query. For example, to request prescriptions in preparation for your holiday
Know your medications
