Prescriptions
Dispensing
- The surgery can only dispense your medication to you from our own dispensary if you live more than 1.6 km from a Pharmacy. Dispensary can be contacted via telephone between the hours of 11am and 2pm and in person at any time during surgery opening hours
- If you live within a 1.6 km radius of a Pharmacy or request not to use our own dispensing service you will be issued with a prescription which can be dispensed by a pharmacy of your choice. This includes your repeat prescription
Repeat Prescriptions
Tel: 01226 765300 at least 72 hours before the prescription is required (during the COVID-19 pandemic)
