Important: Important


Our dispensary is able to provide medication to the majority of patients registered at Chapel Row Surgery as long as you live more than 1 mile as the crow flies from the nearest pharmacy.

However, if you live within 1 mile of a dispensing pharmacist, the NHS rules that we are not permitted to dispense to you. We have to issue a signed prescription to you instead.

This mainly affects patients living in Theale or Thatcham. This is a legal regulation over which we have no influence. 
Despite the government’s NHS agenda on patient “choice”, this does not apply to dispensing.
 
We have a dispensary general enquiry line on 0118 971 3803 which is open Monday to Friday 10am to 11:30am and 3pm to 4:30pm.

If you need help when we are closed

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
