The practice runs a computerised repeat prescribing service.

If you are on regular medication you will be given a computer slip with the drugs you take printed on it. When you need more medication, tick against the items you require and either post the slip to us or place it in the box outside the dispensary. You can also email: dispensary@gp-d83006.nhs.uk or fax: 01449 740903

It takes two working days (48 hours) to process repeat prescriptions so do take care not to run out of medication. For those who have difficulty getting to the surgery we have various ways to get your medication to a collection point near to you. Please ask the dispenser who will advise you.

Dispensary Hours

Monday to Friday... 8:30am - 1:00pm and 2:00pm - 6:00pm
Saturday............... 8:30am - 12:00 noon

For advice on minor illness please telephone NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 (24 hours)

We do not take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone as mistakes can all too easily happen. Of course if you do have problems we are always happy to help if we can.

If you are taking regular medication you may be asked to attend a medication review once or twice a year. These reviews are carried out by the doctors and dispensers and usually take about half an hour.

During the consultation you will be asked questions about your medication to ensure you are taking it correctly. The dispensers do not carry out any sort of physical examination during these consultations.
