Prescription and Dispensing Services
Electronic Prescription Service
Sherburn Group Practice uses the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). This enables electronic prescriptions to be generated and sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. This makes the prescribing and dispensing process more efficient and convenient for patients and staff.
Getting Your Medicine
We can dispense medicine to patients who live more than a mile from a pharmacy.
Acute Dispensing
As a dispensing patient, if you are seen urgently and require medication on an acute basis eg. antibiotics, you can obtain your medication from the dispensary immediately after seeing the GP and before you leave the practice premises.
Blister Packs
Patients, who are taking several different medications, may sometimes find it difficult to take the right drug at the right time. Blister packs can help make it simpler and easier to take the right medication at the right time. Please ask for information if you are interested in this service.
Remote Hub Delivery Service
We offer a free delivery service twice a week to two remote hubs (Ulleskelf and Church Fenton) for our dispensing patients living in those areas.

Prescription Charges and Prescription Prepayment Certificates
If you are exempt from paying for prescriptions, please provide evidence of your exemption when collecting your medication.
From 1 April 2024 the cost of a prescribed item is £9.90. If you need more than 11 prescribed medicines each year, you could save money with a 12-month Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC). The cost of a pre-payment certificate for three months is £32.05, and a yearly one is £114.50. You can purchase a pre-payment certificate from the NHS Business Services Authority by phoning the prepayment certificate order line on the lo-call rate number 0300 330 1341, or apply on-line at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ppc.
