We are a dispensing practice. Following a consultation medicines are normally dispensed immediately. However, please do not request repeat prescriptions during a consultation or home visit. If you wish to pick up repeats at the same time as your appointment please order them 2 days before your consultation.
If you are taking regular medication your doctor may allow the prescription to be repeated on request. You will receive a slip of paper on which is printed the names of the medicines which may be repeated. You can obtain further supplies by bringing/posting this slip to the surgery or by ordering your prescription on the web through EMIS Access.

If this is a problem you may ring the dispensaries at the following times:
Comberton: 10.30-12:30 and 3:30-6:00pm. Tel:01223 262399
The dispensary is very busy during surgery hours and there may be a delay in answering your
call. Requests for repeats should be made 2 working days in advance - this allows records to be
checked, the prescription authorised and the drugs ordered if necessary. You can collect your
drugs after 4pm two days later. Please remember if you wish to call for your drugs on a Saturday
morning (8:30-10:30, Comberton only) your request should be in the dispensary by Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday requests will not be completed until after 4pm on Monday.
Without a current exemption or pre-payment certificate all prescriptions must be paid for at
the time of collection. If you are unwell and come for a consultation please remember that
your doctor may well be issuing you with medication so come prepared with cash or cheque book!
Bear in mind collection of repeat medication during surgery hours could mean having longer
to wait as priority is given to patients who have been seen. If someone is collecting on
your behalf please ensure they know exactly what they have to collect. To avoid embarrassment
please do not send children to collect your medication.
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to attend periodically for their drugs to be reviewed.
There are deliveries to some outlying villages for the elderly and housebound. Please enquire
with your doctor if you need this service.
To comply with existing government directives from 1st September 2006 all prescriptions
will be issued for one month at a time. (Special arrangements can be made for holidays)
If you wish to discuss any concerns please speak to your Doctor not the staff.
