We offer our Dispensing patients an opportunity to discuss their medication with our Dispensers, this is different from the medication reviews carried out by our doctors.

Acute and Repeat Prescription Requests

We can dispense both repeat and acute prescriptions to anyone living at least 1 mile from a chemist.

We offer a friendly and efficient service, we have 2 deliveries a day from our wholesalers so if an item happens to be out of stock, we can usually obtain it for later that day or the next morning.

Private prescriptions

Can be dispensed for all patients for medication for travel abroad

Other Dispensary Services

All of our dispensers are able to carry out a review of your use of medicines. This is particularly useful for those who take several medicines or suffer from long term illness. This service provides an opportunity for you to discuss with a dispenser any questions related to your medication and any concerns of difficulties you may be having.
