Repeat Prescriptions

All your medication is recorded on our practice computer which routinely checks for interactions and allergies. 

You will need to order your prescription online, via the link at the top of this page. To use this service you can speak with our reception team who will be happy to assist you with this.  You can also drop the order slip in the prescription box outside the building.

It takes TWO WORKING DAYS to produce a new prescription (released after 5pm) or dispense medication, but we can sometimes rush this a little if you explain the need to reception. We usually issue a single month's supply of medication in line with NHS guidance so even if you are on several different treatments it should be possible for you to make a single monthly request. Requests for repeat medication should not be made over the telephone as there is more likelihood of a mistake with the prescription.

Queries about routine medication can be dealt with by our dispensing team at Harthill or by ringing the prescription department at Kiveton. You may have to leave a message but someone will get back to you. 

Nominations

You can nominate a pharmacy to collect your medication from. Please inform the reception team and they will action this.

Dispensing Patients

If you live more than a mile from a chemist, you may obtain your medicines from our dispensary at Harthill. This generally means patients who live in Harthill, Woodall, Thorpe Salvin and Kiveton Park Station. Unless you request otherwise we will issue the relevant medicines rather than a prescription if you have seen the doctor at the Harthill Surgery. If you live within a mile from a pharmacy you will receive a prescription.

Deliveries

Harthill Surgery offers a free delivery service for patients who are unable to collect their medication. 

Urgent Medication

If you require urgent medication when Harthill surgery is closed please contact the main surgery at Kiveton on 01909 770213 and 111 when this surgery is closed.

Medication Reviews

The doctors regularly review the records of patients on long–term medication so don't be alarmed if you are asked to make an appointment to discuss your treatment. You might also be asked to attend for routine blood tests, in which case the relevant form should be with the request letter.

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.

NHS charges

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

• Prescription (per item): £9.90
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £114.50
• 3-month PPC: £32.05

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030
• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line

You can get an HRT prescription prepayment certificate ( HRT PPC ) from the NHS if you've been prescribed an eligible hormone replacement therapy see further details on the link below:
