Prescriptions


Groombridge and Hartfield Medical Group is a dispensing practice. Dispensing Doctors are common in rural areas where access to a pharmacy is limited or unavailable. This means we can only dispense medication from our Dispensary to patients who live more than one mile away (as the crow flies) from the nearest pharmacy. If you live within one mile of a pharmacy, you will need to collect your medication from there instead.

Dispensary Opening Hours:
Monday to Friday: 08:00 – 13:00  14:00 – 18.30
