Please Read – Notice For All Patients Effective From 31st May 2024
The way to order repeat prescriptions is changing.
From 31 May 2024, your GP practice will be taking over the responsibility for your repeat prescriptions.
After this date, you will not be able to order repeat prescriptions using the Prescription Ordering Direct (POD) telephone service.
How can I order my repeat prescription?
- on the NHS App
- by logging into your NHS account at www.nhs.uk
- by requesting a repeat prescription on your GP practice website
- if you are unable to use any of these methods, please contact the practice after 10am to discuss your options
Please note the POD service is only available to patients registered at Modality GP practices in Walsall.

HRT Prepayment Certificate
From the 1 April, the Government is launching the HRT Pre-Payment Certificate (PPC) to reduce prescription costs for women receiving Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
The HRT PPC will be available to buy in one single payment online at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/hrt-ppc, or in-person at some pharmacies. You can call 0300 330 2089 for help and support.
Before buying an HRT PPC, you should check if:
- you’re eligible for free NHS prescriptions using the eligibility checker: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/check
- your medicine is covered by the HRT PPC. For a list of eligible HRT medication, visit: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/hrt-ppc-medicines
- a 3 or 12 month PPC is more suitable. It covers all NHS prescriptions, not just HRT items. Visit: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ppc
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions. Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please fill in the form on our Online Service.
Medication Reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we will ask you to come in at least once a year for a review. Depending on your medication, we may ask you to come in for a consultation, complete a questionnaire or review your blood pressure. Please make sure you book a routine appointment when we ask you to come in for your review.
About Pharmacists
Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you with minor health concerns.
As qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.
Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.
Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
- Prescription (per item): £9.65
- 3-month PPC: £31.25
- 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
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.

What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
