Repeat Prescriptions and Dispensary
We run a repeat prescription service for patients who
are taking medication regularly.
This is based on a 28-day prescription, as the NHS and
Barnsley PCT advise that this is ?best practice?. Repeat
prescriptions are dealt with by our Dispensary staff.
Dispensary Opening Hours at Penistone Surgery:
Monday 08:30 - 18:30
Tuesday 08:30 - 18:30
Wednesday 08:30 - 12:30 and 15:00 - 18:30

There are a number of ways to order your
prescriptions:
Please allow 2 full working days between ordering
your prescription and collection (this allows time for
queries to be resolved).
If you live more than 1 mile (as the crow flies) from a
pharmacy, you can collect your medication from the
dispensary in either our Penistone surgery or the branch
surgeries at Thurgoland or Silkstone. Please tell us
where you would like to collect your medication.
Dispensary has a weekly delivery service to the surrounding villages for those unable to leave their homes. Please contact dispensary for more details.
If you live within 1 mile of a pharmacy, statutory
regulations mean that we cannot give you your medication
at the surgery. You must take the prescription to a
pharmacy instead.
Urgent medication requiring a prescription out of
surgery hours should be requested from the out of hours
deputising service (see ?When the Surgery is Closed?).
Lloyds Pharmacy in Midland Street, Barnsley is the
nearest late-opening dispensing pharmacy.
