Am I a dispensing or non-dispensing patient?

Current national legislation only allows us to dispense medication to patients who live more than one mile, as the crow flies, from the nearest pharmacy

Eligible patients will be registered as a dispensing patient, your medication will always be ready to collect from one of the dispensaries. You will not need to collect your prescription from us first.

Patients who are not eligible for the dispensing service can choose from one of the following three options:

• Collect their prescription (form only) from either Fenny Compton or Shenington dispensaries during our collection times.
• Arrange for a pharmacy to collect their prescription (form only) from our dispensaries on their behalf.
• Arrange for your prescription (form only) to be posted to your place of choice e.g. home or pharmacy.

Please note that you must contact your chosen pharmacy and arrange this with them yourself.  If you choose to have your prescriptions (form only) posted then you must speak to your pharmacy about a SAE or supply the surgery with some yourself.
