Non-dispensed Medication:

 

 

 

 The dispensary can issue medication for prescriptions prescribed by a doctor or nurse practitioner to the surgery’s own patients who live more than a mile from the nearest chemist. This is a health authority ruling and it is not at the discretion of the doctor. If you do not meet this criterion but believe that you have special needs that would benefit from being a dispensing patient then you may appeal to the Primary Care Trust by completing an RD1 form. Please ask reception for this form.

To qualify for this service you must complete a Rural Dispensing Application Form for all members of your family at the time of registration.

 

 

 

 

 Arrangements for patients for whom we are not allowed to dispense (i.e. those living within 1 mile of a chemists shop):

- Signed prescriptions can be collected from reception in person OR

- Prescriptions can be sent to Procters Chemist at your request. Please specify whether this is to the High Street or Station Road OR

- We can post a signed prescription back to you if you supply an SAE with your request

 

Opening times:

The dispensary is open Monday to Friday from 08:45 to 12:00 noon and 02:00 pm to 06:30 pm, excluding Bank Holidays. In case of difficulty, completed prescriptions can be picked up from reception by prior arrangement before 08:45 am.
