HRT Pre-Payment 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
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to have a telephone appointment with the Practice Pharmacists once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip of when this is due. In some cases, this review may also be done by a doctor or
nurse practitioner. If a review is not already booked when this date is reached, we will contact you either by phone or text message with a link to book an appointment. It is important you ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to ensure the safe and effective prescribing of your repeat medicines and to avoid any unnecessary delays or reduced quantities on further prescriptions.
In all cases patients should allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays.

What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from for them to dispose of them safely or bring full sharps boxes into the surgery for disposal. Do not put medications in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
Please see the following poster on the importance of proper disposal of inhalers to protect the environment.
