Dispensing

We dispense medicines to our patients from our surgeries in Illogan and Lanner and can provide home deliveries of medication for house-bound patients.

Getting your medication direct from the surgery improves the service we can provide to you, reduces the chance of problems with your medication and helps to support the surgery. 

If you live more than a mile from your nearest chemist and are not currently using our dispensary, please ask.

To speak to our dispensers, please phone 01209 842894 during surgery opening hours. 

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

Please allow up to 72 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
