Remote and Home Deliveries

We would like to remind patients who use this service that all prescription deliveries must be signed for and that NO medication will be left without a signature or with anyone under 18 years. If you cannot be at home to receive your order, the medication will be returned to the Surgery and you will need to make arrangements to collect it from the Surgery.  Dispensary offer this free weekly delivery service to the surrounding villages and especially for those unable to leave their homes.

The NHS App

Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
