A repeat prescription may be issued to you if you require regular medication, although regular reviews  are essential. Please allow at least 48 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays)  for the prescription to be prepared. It is the policy of this practice and ERYCCG  to issue repeat prescriptions for 28 days' supply at a time.

Please do not order your repeat prescription more than two weeks before it is required.

If you do need to do this please give a reason.  If you do so without good reason being given your request may be rejected.

COLLECTION

 At Snaith, repeat prescriptions are NOT dealt with during peak surgery times. Please collect, if possible, between 10.30am and 3.30pm. Rawcliffe patients can collect at any time whilst the surgery is open.

If you are a non-dispensing patient and would like to collect your medication from Snaith or Eggborough Pharmacies, the script will be sent to the pharmacy.  Please apply at either pharmacy to join their scheme.

DISPENSING

We are willing to dispense for all patients living more than 1.6km from a chemist but NHS rules prevent us from dispensing to any patient living nearer. If you live in our dispensing catchment area, but do not want to be a dispensing patient, please inform a member of the dispensary team.

Our two dispensaries are open at the same time as the surgeries::

SNAITH:

Monday                     7.40am - 8.30pm ** Late night closing
Wednesday               7.40am - 6.00pm
Tuesday & Thursday 8.00am - 6.00pm
Friday                        7.40am - 6.00pm

RAWCLIFFE:

Monday - Thursday    8.30am -11.00am
Friday                         8.30am - 12 noon

If medication is urgently required when the dispensary is shut, details of the nearest available pharmacy can be found by ringing NHS 111.

MEDICATION DELIVERY

The practice offers a drug delivery service to those dispensing patients who have difficulty collecting medication either through lack of transport or ill health. Please ask at the dispensary for further details
