Dispensing
For patients living in a rural area and using Bodedern and Valley surgeries we offer a dispensing service of the most commonly used medications. Medication can be obtained by using your repeat prescription/a letter (but not telephone requests) within normal surgery opening hours.
However, in cases of emergency we will always endeavour to accommodate a patient in need.
Outside normal surgery hours please contact NHS Direct (0845 8501362) for details of your nearest pharmacy.
