A new and convenient way to order your repeat prescription.

The NHS Prescription Ordering Direct service is the easy way for you to order your repeat prescription.  All it takes is a simple phone call that you can make from the comfort of your own home - there's no need to go into the GP practice or pharmacy to order your medication.

Freephone telephone number: 0808 1647678.  Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm

Ordering your prescription will be a quick and simple telephone call.  You can discuss your medication requirements and we can alert you if a medication review is needed.

The NHS POD service is provided, on behalf of the practice, by NHS High Weald Lewes Havens Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).  Your call will be answered by a dedicated, experienced, and fully-trained prescription co-ordinator.  

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed for free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions

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

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
