Dispensing Arrangements

We are able to dispense medication to any patient living more than 1 mile from a pharmacy. Therefore your prescription medication can be collected from the dispensary following your consultation.

We sometimes need to order some items into stock and these normally arrive the following afternoon.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescription Charge Exemptions

Some groups are automatically entitled to free NHS prescriptions. Others can apply for certificates that entitle them to free NHS prescriptions. Examples are...

  • those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
