Delivery Service
We have a team of efficient delivery drivers who deliver medication on a daily basis to dispensing patients unable to get to the surgery.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service to patients who have to pay for their medication as our drivers cannot collect money.
The Pharmacy at Buxted Medical Centre, is open from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday. All patients who live within a mile of a chemist (non dispensing) may choose to collect their prescriptions from the pharmacy. A selection of over the counter non prescription products will also be available for purchase. A delivery service is available for patients unable to collect their medication.
Our onsite pharmacist at Buxted can help by advising on a number of different ailments such as cough, sore throat, skin rash, diarrhoea, and/or vomiting, constipation, headache, minor eye conditions, hay fever, head lice, insect bites and worms, blood pressure reading, the morning-after pill, smoking cessation and much more.
