Parish Fields Practice Dispensary

We have a dispensary at Parish Fields Practice and are able to dispense medications for any eligible patients.

Patients are usually eligible if they live more than one mile in a straight line from a pharmacy or dispensing chemist. Once registered as a dispensing patient, your medication will always be ready to collect from our dispensary. You will not need to collect your prescription from us first.

Please allow 2 full working days between ordering the prescriptions and collection.

Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on long term medication can order repeat prescriptions in the following ways:

  • In person – drop your repeat slip off at the surgery having carefully ticked the items required.
  • By post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
  • Online – register for our online services and order via the link at the top of this page.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems or questions regarding a prescription please contact the surgery.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.

Pharmacy 2 You, Med Express, UK Meds, Pharmacy Express and Pharmacy Direct

The above companies are not connected to us or our doctors in any way. They are simply private companies providing a prescription delivery service.

You may have received a letter containing our name or an NHS logo delivered to your address offering you free medication delivery, again they are not connected to us and you do not have to use them.

We will continue to provide you with the prescription service as we always have and very much appreciate your loyalty.
