We dispense medicine directly from the surgery to almost all patients. We can also make up prescriptions issued elsewhere eg own GP, dentist or the hospital for patients or people not registered with us.
We have an advanced dispensing robot to assist efficient supply of your medicines.
We stock most common medicines and can obtain special drugs.
Payment can be made by cash or credit card.
How do I get a repeat prescription?
We have a computerised prescribing system and if you need regular medication you will be given a printout with the drugs you take listed on it. Tick the items you require and either bring the printout to dispensary, send it by post, fax or complete the online Repeat Prescription form.
Order your repeat prescription well in advance
On leaving your order at dispensary during the working week it will take 48 hours (if ordered before 12pm) for your repeat prescription to be processed, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. The usual quantity is for one month (28 days). Sometimes you will be asked to see a doctor before any more repeat prescriptions are given.

If you are exempt from payment for any other reason eg medical exemption certificate, prepayment certificate, income support etc, please advise us each time you order medication so that we can fill in the reverse of the prescription on your behalf.
