Please note that we advise repeat prescriptions will take 48 hours to process. Items ordered online outside of our opening hours will not be processed until the following working day and will not be ready for collection until 2 working days from that day.

Please note that repeat prescriptions are not to be collected between 08.30 and 10.30 am unless by prior arrangement.

You can also order your repeat prescriptions online day or night  by requesting a registration form from Reception.  This will include the log-in details required to open an account. Please note, however, that the collection times remain the same. 

Once you have received your registration form, please use the link on this page.

Prescriptions

This is a part dispensing practice, which means that if you live within one mile of the pharmacy in Tuxford you must take your prescription to a pharmacy for dispensing.  Please note that this can be any pharmacy of your choice and not necessarily Tuxford Pharmacy. 

However, if you would have serious difficulty in obtaining necessary drugs or appliances from a pharmacy, i.e. if you are housebound and have no regular carer to assist you, you may apply to have your prescriptions dispensed by your GP.  Please ask our receptionist for details.  If you live outside the one mile area, your prescriptions will be dispensed by our trained dispensers and ready to collect at the surgery after consultation with the GP.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Please note that items ordered after we close will not be processed until the following morning and will not be ready for collection until 2 working days from that morning. Any problems please telephone 01234 567890.
