We also operate a delivery service to Ryton and the surrounding villages on a Monday and Thursday morning, this facility is for those that are without transport. Please inform the receptionist or indicate on a note which collection point you wish to use.
Some items are available only on private prescription for which there is an additional charge. The doctor or nurse will advise you where this applies.
Dispensary
Patients who live over a mile from a chemist are able, if they wish, to obtain their medication from the surgery. Alternatively, you may choose to have your prescription dispensed at any community pharmacy of your choice.
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.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
