Ordering a Repeat Prescription
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
Medication Queries
Please get in touch with the surgery to raise a query about your medication.
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.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) sends electronic prescriptions from GP surgeries to pharmacies. Eventually EPS will remove the need for most paper prescriptions.

Over the counter products for self-care are for things like pain relief, cold sores, coughs and colds. These items can be bought from pharmacies and supermarkets without a prescription and are also often cheaper this way. You can get them without an appointment or seeing a GP.
Last year in Lambeth we spent over £1 million on prescriptions for self-care products available over the counter. NHS Lambeth CCG no longer supports the routine prescribing of over-the-counter products for common conditions and minor ailments that are short-term illnesses, and/or will get better with time.
Examples of self care treatments available to purchase over the counter without a prescription:
- Acne treatment
- Analgesic/pain relief treatment (short term pain, fever, headache, muscle/joint injury)
- Anti-fungal treatment (athlete’s foot, oral and vaginal thrush, ring worm)
- Antiperspirant treatment (excessive sweating)
- Cold sore treatment
- Colic treatment
- Constipation treatment
- Cough, cold and sore throat treatment
- Diarrhoea treatment
- Ear wax remover
- Eye treatments/lubricating products (Conjunctivitis/dry eyes)
- Haemorrhoid (piles) treatment
- Hayfever treatment
- Head lice treatment
- Herbal and complementary treatments
- Indigestion and heartburn (dyspepsia) treatment
- Mouth ulcer treatment
- Nappy rash treatment
- Scabies treatment
- Threadworm treatment
- Topical steroid treatment (insect bites/stings, contact dermatitis, nappy rash)
- Vitamins and minerals
- Wart and Verruca treatment
Generic Medicines
Our practice attempts to use non-brand named (generic) medicines wherever possible as this saves the NHS a considerable amount of money. All hospitals use generic medicines. Most medicines have two names: the brand name which belongs to the company who originally manufactured it, and the generic name, which is the actual name of the medicine. Sometimes, therefore, you may see a drug on your prescription which differs from the name you know it by. Please be assured that the content of the drug is identical to that of the branded version.
Medication Waste
Wasted or unused medicine is a serious and growing problem within the NHS that you can help tackle.
It is estimated that as much as £300million is wasted every year on unused or partially used medication.
