Dispensing Medicines Patients who live within one mile of a Dispensing Chemist are obliged to have their prescriptions dispensed by the Pharmacist. Other patients may have their medicines dispensed at the surgery. We can advise you if you are in any doubt as to your rights. These are Government regulations and unfortunately we have no discretion in the matter.Prescriptions charges are set at the current rate by the Government and should be paid as your drugs are collected. We are obliged to ask for proof of exemption to charges and you will be asked to sign the back of the prescription indicating your entitlement to free medicines.
Those patients on regular medication are allowed a certain number of repeats of this medication without seeing the Doctor or Nurse. The number of repeats is decided on by the Doctor or Nurse, who will want to review your progress from time to time. One month’s supply of drugs will normally be supplied on each occasion. Repeat prescription requests will be dealt with within two working days of receipt either by calling at the surgery, sending it through by post or by using our Appointments Online service. For non-dispensing patients, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope if you would like your prescription mailed to you. If you wish to collect your prescription from the local Chemist please indicate this to the dispenser who will record this on your computer record. We have now introduced two telephone numbers that will allow you to order your repeat prescriptions by leaving us a message. Drayton patients should call 01603 264639, St Faiths Patients should call 01603 710812. Please remember to leave your full name, date of birth and the details of the medication you require.
