Need to order a prescription? You can:
Please note: We cannot take repeat prescription requests over the telephone with the exception of elderly, vulnerable or very young patients.
Your GP surgery does not automatically issue repeat prescriptions for you and cannot issue medication any quicker than the time stated, even if you consider it as urgent.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have enough medication, ordering within plenty of time so you don't run out.
Although we aim to have prescriptions ready within this time scale, your local Pharmacy may have their own policy on collection times, once they have received the prescription from us.
You can order your repeat prescription online HERE
To register for the Internet Prescription Request system, please bring your photographic evidence (e.g. driving licence with photo or passport) to either Old Basing or Odiham Surgery. We will then print details to enable you to register to order your repeat prescriptions via the internet.
Medication reviews are important.
They help us to provide you with the correct on-going treatment and to monitor your condition.
Many reviews can now be completed or part completed by the patient using our HEALTH PODS in the waiting areas which feedbacks the results to your clinician.
Some reviews can often be done by telephone, others need you to attend the surgery.
Get in touch with our reception team who can help you.
In some situations, we are not allowed to issue prescriptions on the NHS. A private prescription will then be issued for which a charge may be payable and you will pay the full cost of the medication at the pharmacy.
If you have seen a specialist on a private basis and have been given a private prescription, we cannot convert the prescription into an NHS one.

If you get your medicine with a repeat prescription, you can use the 111 online emergency prescription service.
They'll ask some questions, including where you are and when you are due to take your medicine so they can suggest the best way to get it.
They may refer you to a pharmacy to get your medicine.
If your medicine is not prescribed as a repeat prescription, you can get help from 111 online or call 111 to discuss your options.
There's a simple way to find out if you're eligible for free NHS prescriptions and any help with other NHS costs.

HRT prescription prepayment certificate
If you pay for NHS prescribed HRT medicine 3 or more times in 12 months, an HRT PPC could save you money.
Each item on an NHS prescription usually costs £9.90. You can buy an HRT PPC for a one-off payment of £19.80 (the cost of two single items).
The HRT PPC covers an unlimited number of certain HRT medicines for 12 months, regardless of why they are prescribed.
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
The current prescription charge is £9.90 per item
Prescription charges are for each item not each prescription. For example, if your prescription has 3 medicines on it you will have to pay the prescription charge 3 times.
Some items are always free, including contraception and medicines prescribed for hospital inpatients.
If you know you'll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions, it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC).
