In emergency only: should you run out of your medication and the surgery is closed please ring your normal surgery telephone number. Your call will be transferred to the “Out of Hours Service” and you will be advised how you can obtain an emergency supply of medication.

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App).
• using the GP online system (SystmOnline).

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
• bring the paper form to the surgery - see our opening times here

For all patients registered at Darley Dale, please be aware your nominated pharmacy will have their own time scale for processing prescriptions. We would advise that you check these before ordering to minimise the risk of running out.

With immediate effect the repeat prescription process for patients prescribed Warfarin has changed:

• In-between each prescription request an in-house medication review will take place to ensure that you have had an INR check within the appropriate period and that your medical records are updated with the results.
• A prescription cannot be processed without a satisfactory medication review taking place.
• You can continue to request your prescriptions in the usual way.

The changes are in-line with CQC requirements to ensure maximum patient safety.

If you are a dispensing patient (you pick up your prescription from Winster or Youlgreave surgery) please contact your local branch for any prescription queries.

If you are a dispensing patient please allow 48 Hours (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) for your request to be processed.

If you are not a dispensing patient but you would like to be please visit or phone Winster or Youlgreave surgery to set this up.
