The Dispensary is open daily(mon-fri) 08.30am-5.30pm and does not close for lunch. It is able to dispense medication to our rural population (those patients living more than one mile from any chemist). You are eligible for dispensing service if your address has one of the following postcodes (please note that all patients temporary residents in the area i.e. holiday makers are eligible for dispensing): NR11, NR24, NR25, NR27, NR26 8AD, NR26 8AE, NR26 8TA, NR26 8TB, NR26 8TD, NR26 8TE, NR26 8TF, NR26 8TG, NR26 8TH, NR26 8TJ, NR26 8TL, NR26 8TN, NR26 8TP, NR26 8TQ, NR26 8TS, NR26 8TW. If you are unsure whether you qualify please ask the dispensary staff. There is a car park facility and we provide a friendly and efficient service. The dispensary staff will address any problems you may have.
When collecting medication you will be required to pay for each item unless you are exempt. You will be asked to show your exemption certificate or other proof of exemption each time you collect your prescription.
Pre-payment certificates are available which may save you money if you have to pay for medicines on a regular basis. Please ask at the dispensary for details.
