Gringley Dispensary

Riverside Gringley is our branch site responsible for dealing with the dispensing of medications to patients who fall within the catchment area of the practice.

Non-urgent advice: Medication Ordering

We are now requesting 3 working days for your prescription to be collected from ordering. Our main supplier has recently moved into a brand-new purpose-built building in Wakefield and our delivery times have changed. While they get through some teething issues, it can take a little longer for items ordered to arrive to us.

Dispensing Rule

We are unable to dispense for anyone living within 1.6km of a pharmacy but anyone living further than 1.6km DO have the choice to ask for their prescriptions to be dispensed at a Pharmacy/Dispensary of their choice.

Holiday Medication

If you are going away on holiday this is not a problem for us. Please let us know and we can provide an extra month’s medication when you place your usual order. We will be happy to accommodate your request by calling into the dispensary.

Emergency Supply

We can usually help if you need some regular medicines and can’t get in touch with your doctor. We must stress that this can only be done in genuine emergencies. Please note, there may be a charge for this service.
