From the 1st February 2023, the dispensary phone and main reception will no longer be taking orders for repeat prescriptions.

Please do not direct dispensary queries via reception. Thank you
Ordering a repeat prescription
REMINDER – allow 5 working days for our dispensary to process prescriptions – please note this does not include weekends or Bank Holidays. You will receive a text message when your prescription is ready to collect. Please do not call or visit the surgery before this time unless your medication is urgently needed. This has a delaying effect for other patients.
In person - There is a post box situated outside the main entrance of Reception and on the Dispensary wall, please place your repeat form or a note with your request including your name, address, date of birth and contact details.
Online - You can download the NHS app via your app store or log in online. This will give you access to ordering your repeat medication online. The NHS app log in details can be used to log into Airmid, which is an alternative app providing access to your medical record, and online ordering. This can be found on your app store link available here. If you have previously been given access, you can log into Systmonline to order your prescription.
Automatic repeat ordering – for some patients we can pre-order your next month’s medication at dispensary so you do not need to contact us each month. Please enquire at Dispensary about this.
When arriving at Dispensary
We are no longer operating the traffic light system.

The delivery is made by one of the surgery dispensary team who will also collect any repeat prescription request slips for medication to be delivered the following week.
Patients who are wishing to register for this service should complete a consent form (obtainable from the village shop or dispensary) and hand it in at the village shop or the dispensary. Please note we can not accept verbal or online requests for registration.
We would like to thank the staff at the village shop for their help and co-operation.
