Please allow 2 working days following your request for repeat prescriptions. If your need is more urgent,
please let us know and we will do our best to meet your requirements.
We are permitted to dispense medications to all those patients on our list who live more than one mile from the town centre. You may have your prescription delivered to your local shop/post office if you live in or around Braithwaite, Rosthwaite or Threlkeld. Repeat prescriptions can be delivered to any of the chemists in Keswick for those patients to whom we cannot dispense. The dispensary is open from 8:30am until 5:30pm on weekdays (it is best to collect your repeat prescriptions during lunchtime or late afternoon in order to avoid the busy surgery times).
Out of Hours Services
On weekdays between the hours of 6:30pm and 8:00am, and all day and night at weekends and on bank holidays; services are commissioned by the Eden Valley PCT.
