Your Local Pharmacy
Burham Pharmacy
If having seen the doctor you have been prescribed medication this can be collected from the on-site dispensary at Burham.
The dispensary is limited in size so whilst we carry a range of the more common items, it may be that we have to order your medication in. This usually takes about 24 hours so you will be given the option of waiting until it arrives at Burham or taking a signed prescription away for it to be dispensed at another chemist. If you are at Eccles please ask the reception staff to ring Burham to find out if your medication is available.
About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In Person
When you require more medication you should complete the slip by ticking the medication required and hand it in to the surgery.
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
