Green out-patient prescriptions (FP10s), given to you by the hospital or by your GP, may be dispensed at any community pharmacy (chemist).
At Darent Valley Hospital, white out-patient prescription forms are dispensed for you either by Chopra's Pharmacy in the main hospital foyer, or by the hospital Pharmacy Department (Level 2, Junction 3). Check with the team at your clinic reception if you are not sure. These white prescriptions cannot be dispensed for you at any other pharmacy. The Darent Valley hospital pharmacy cannot dispense green prescription forms or private prescriptions.
At Queen Mary's Hospital, white out-patient prescriptions are dispensed by the hospital Pharmacy Department (A Block Junction 7).
If the doctor decides that new medication is required or changes your medication, and it is necessary to start immediately, you will be given a prescription for an adequate supply from the hospital. After this time you will need to get a further supply from your GP.
If you have had medicines supplied from Darent Valley, either as an inpatient or an outpatient, you can call our Medicines Information Patient Helpline if you have any questions or queries about those medicines.
