Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered:

  • Online - through the NHS app or the patient access website/app.

  • By emailing your prescription request to syicb-doncaster.sjgp-prescriptions@nhs.net

Repeat prescriptions will be ready 72 working hours after ordering. 

Please ensure that you order your medication in time and wherever possible try to order all medications you take regularly at the same time.

NHS Charges

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

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.

Medication to return?

Did you know that all unwanted or out of date prescribed medications and medicines you buy should be returned to any pharmacy for safe disposal and not put in general waste. This can include items such as tablets, patches, creams and liquids. Please remember to only order the medicines you need and check your supplies at home before ordering, you will still be able to order these items in the future. This helps manage medication shortages. Before leaving the pharmacy, check your medicines to confirm you have everything you need and hand anything back you do not. If you’re no longer taking a medicine, inform your GP practice so we can update your records. Your cooperation is appreciated and helps us provide the best care possible.
