Dispensing Services
We have two dispensaries, one at our main site in Theale and the other in Bradfield. The Theale dispensary is open on weekdays (except public holidays) 08:30 - 18:15 while the Bradfield Dispensary is only open during a surgery.

We are bound by certain rules which means that we cannot dispense medicines to everyone. The rules that we are bound by are that the patient must live more than 1 mile away from a dispensing chemist (pharmacy).

Repeat Prescriptions
When requesting a repeat prescription, please allow two full working days before collection. Please read any messages that are on your repeat prescription. You will be required to have a medication review from time to time. A message will be printed on the prescription informing you when it is due. We are not allowed to continue to issue repeat prescriptions indefinitely without a review of your medication. If left too long, a repeat prescription will be refused which may leave you short of medication. Please book your medication reviews in good time. See Online Services for booking medication reviews Online.

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered by Fax (0118 930 4419), by Email on repeat@gp-k81077.nhs.uk, by our Online Services, by post or if you prefer, in person at any of our surgeries. Please use the post box when we are closed. Please allow extra turn around time when requesting repeat prescriptions via our Bradfield and Calcot surgeries. Please note that we cannot accept repeat prescriptions by telephone.

Private Prescriptions
Private patients may have to pay for their drugs as it can come outside of the NHS. Some other drugs may be outside of the NHS even though you may be an NHS patient. This should be explained to you at the time. Please see our price list for drug pricing. Note that drug pricing changes very quickly and is subject to change without notice.

Travel Immunisation
Some travel vaccines are not part of the NHS and will have to be paid for. Please see our price list for chargeable vaccinations.
