TRANSPORT TO GET YOUR COVID VACCINATION AVAILABLE NOW! - please read below:

A transport facility for people struggling to get to a Covid vaccination site has been set up so citizens can get their first, second or booster jab.

The partnership between the city council, NHS and Taxi Operators’ Association will provide a free taxi service to the nearest vaccination site for people with mobility issues and those who face financial and practical barriers to using private or public transport.

Funded by the NHS it will ensure anyone who wants to get vaccinated will be able to attend a clinic or vaccination site.

Quote: “We know there are many citizens who are keen to get their vaccination but are struggling to get to a site due to mobility problems, lack of assistance or financial barriers. Nobody should be in the position where they cannot get a life-saving jab because of any of these issues so this it is great news that this service is up and running. I would urge anyone who is yet to be vaccinated – whether first, second or booster – to please get the jab.”

 People should find their nearest vaccination site and then they will be get instructions to book the cab.

People can find full details of how to book the service here: https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/BirminghamJabCab

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.
