Repeat Prescriptions

Alternatively, please telephone 017687 80124 to speak to our dispensary. (Please try to telephone between 10:00 and 17:00)

Please allow 2 working days following your request for repeat prescriptions. If your need is more urgent, please let us know and we will do our best to meet your requirements.

You can order your repeat prescription directly through this site. You must register with reception before you can use this service. Once you have received your letter, click on the link aboce and follow the instructions.

We are permitted to dispense medications to all those patients on our list who live more than one mile from the town centre. You may have your prescription delivered to your local shop/post office if you live in or around Braithwaite, Rosthwaite or Threlkeld.

Repeat prescriptions can be delivered to any of the chemists in Keswick for those patients to whom we cannot dispense. The dispensary is open from 08:30 until 17:30 on weekdays (it is best to collect your repeat prescriptions during lunchtime or late afternoon in order to avoid the busy surgery times).

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.
