We are fortunate to have an on-site dispensary at Broadclyst Surgery and can dispense medicines directly to our dispensing patients.  Our dispensary provides high-quality, efficient, and personalised care to ensure that patients receive the best possible service.

Our Services:

  • Prescription Dispensing: Our skilled dispensary team is here to dispense your prescriptions accurately and promptly. We work closely with our clinicians to ensure that you receive the correct medication and dosage.
  • Medication Advice: Our dispensers are knowledgeable but not clinically trained. They can help you to book with who can give you advice and answer any questions you may have about your medications.
  • Repeat Prescriptions: For your convenience, we offer a repeat prescription service. You can easily request your repeat medications online using NHS App or Patient Access or in person, and we will have them ready for you to collect.
  • ARMS: We offer Automatic Repeat Medication Service.  This means we request repeat medication on your behalf every month and get them ready.  We also offer Home Delivery service.
