processing times
- medications on your "Repeat Prescriptions" list will usually be sent to your chosen Pharmacy on the same working day.
- if your request needs to be checked by a GP or Pharmacist, it will usually be sent to your Pharmacy by the end of the next working day.
- Pharmacies have their own processing times to add on, which vary from hours to a few days.
We can send most prescriptions electronically to your chosen pharmacy, anywhere in the UK.
Please let us know which Pharmacy you want to use. Alternatively you set your preference through the NHS app, or contact Pharmacies directly to register with them to receive your prescriptions.
help with prescription costs
If you are paying for regular prescriptions, you might save money by applying for an NHS Prescription Pre-Payment Certificate.
These last for 3 or 12 months, and once purchased cover the cost of all your prescriptions during that period.
A 3-month certificate will save you money if you usually need 4 or more prescribed items over a 3 months period.
