NHS 111

In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call NHS 111 to speak to a triage nurse. Your needs will be assessed and advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.

Call 999 in a medical emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

The practice will be open again, as usual on Tuesday 8th May 2018.

Online Repeat Prescriptions

Bath Row Medical Practice now offers the facility to request your repeat prescriptions online up to 7 days before they are due. To use this service you will need to be registered for online services at the practice. If you are a new patient at the practice this service will be offered when you register with us. If you are an existing patient please bring I.D (Passport, Driving Licence, Birth Certificate, Bank Statement or Utility Bill) to a member of our reception team who will help you register. Please note that in some cases the doctor will need to check your medication is safe for online prescribing before your online details are issued.

VERY IMPORTANT - Please read the information about SCR here: http://www.bathrowmedicalpractice.co.uk/info.aspx?p=5

Friends and Family Test

The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) is the largest healthcare patient experience in the world. It is based on the simple question "Would you recommend this service to your friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?"

Please click the "Friends and Family Test" link under the heading "Have your say" on the right of this page in order to complete the Friends and Family Test.

Alternatively questionnaires are available at the practice if you prefer.

Order Your Repeat Prescription Online

Prescription Ordering

If an item of medication has been put on a repeat list for you, you may be able to obtain a further supply of your medication without seeing the doctor, for up to six months.

To order your repeat prescription, please tick the items you require on the the right hand side of your prescription and hand it in to Reception. Alternatively, you may ask your local pharmacy to hold your repeat requests for you and they will submit them on your behalf in good time for re-ordering. You will then be able to collect your prescription directly from the pharmacy or, in some cases, they may be able to deliver it to your home. Please ask your local pharmacy for details of this service. We regret that for reasons of patient safety we are unable to accept prescription requests by telephone.

When ordering your repeat prescription, please allow at least 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed as it takes time to prepare safely, to check and to be signed by the doctor.

Please be aware also that should you run out of medication and need a repeat supply urgently, we will not be able to provide a repeat prescription immediately on demand. This is because the doctors are likely to be consulting and we cannot inconvenience other patients by disrupting surgeries. We will do our best to help you but this may require you to come back later in the day to collect your prescription.

Prescriptions 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 prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
