We have been operating a dispensary at the health centre in Crickhowell since April 2006. This service has proved a great success and has been very well received by those patients who have registered with us as dispensing patients.
Under the regulations, this service is only available to those patients who live more than a mile (as the crow flies) from both the health centre and their nearest local pharmacy, and who are deemed to be in a rural location.
For these patients, it will no longer be necessary for them to take their prescription to a pharmay to be dispensed. If you receive a prescription during a GP consultation, you will be able to take it to our dispensary where your medication will be prepared there and then for you, whilst you wait.
When you leave a request for a regular repeat prescription, instead of receiving a prescription, your medicines will be waiting for collection at the surgery (5 working days notice of your request will still be required). Please visit our prescriptions page for further information on ordering your prescriptions.
Opening times
The dispensary opening times are:
- 9:am to 5:30pm, closed between 12:30pm and 1:30pm everyday.
Prescription collections
Crickhowell Group Practice is working with Accessibility Powys to support patients in the local community who are unable to attend to collect their dispensed medication.
Patients wishing to use this service are to contact the group on:
- phone 07498 833 913 between 9am and 5pm
You will be asked to supply some information to the group to assist in the collection.
