We can only dispense medication to anyone who lives more than one mile away (as the crow flies) from a chemist. If you live within one mile of a chemist you can get your medication from any chemist but not the surgery dispensary. These are NHS rules which we have to follow strictly. If you are unsure where your nearest chemist is, please visit http://www.nhs.uk/ Service–Search/Pharmacy/LocationSearch/10 and enter your post code.
