Online Prescription Ordering Showing ‘Requires Review’

If your medication is showing as requiring review, preventing you from ordering, please email a list of the required items along with your name, address and date of birth to nnicb-nn.epccprescriptions@nhs.net.

When using Systmoneline please ‘Make a Custom Request’ listing the medications you require. The doctor will decide if the medication can be reissued or if you need to make an appointment to be seen before it is issued.

We require 2 working days to process your request (please allow extra time for weekends and Bank Holidays) and you need to liaise with your Pharmacy how long it will take for them to process your prescription for collection/delivery.

Please order in time but remember:

  • Only order drugs you require
  • Do not stockpile drugs
  • Please let us know if you are no longer taking a particular medication

Prescription 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 repayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS Charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

  • Prescription (per item): £9.35
  • 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £108.10
  • 3-month PPC: £30.25

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.
