The key point to note is that this service is only FREE for patients who wish to register with and nominate our pharmacy, for regular dispensing and delivering of their repeat prescriptions. Patients registered on our Repeat Prescription programme, will also enjoy the benefit of FREE 24hr deliveries for non-prescription, URGENT CARE medicines, in the comfort of their home or work. Non-registered patients will incur a £15.00 fee for each delivery, in addition to drug cost. Please click here to register

PRIVATE prescription holders will automatically be registered on our software, as repeat prescription users if they send their prescriptions to our pharmacy at least once a month, for three consecutive months.

Please note, that patients and the general public, are not allowed direct access to the pharmacy premises and should therefore request their surgery to send prescriptions to our dispensary, on their behalf, either ELECTRONICALY via the NHS ETP (Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions), by fax, and in very special circumstances some requests can also be made over the phone in which case our pharmacy driver will collect such prescriptions from the surgery. Prior to dispensing and delivering any medication and in order to minimise verbal errors as well as fraudulent requests, it is therefore advisable to encourage surgery staff to fax urgent prescription requests as opposed to phoning them through until their surgery becomes ETP enabled.

Patients are allowed to request Repeat prescriptions up to7 days prior to running out of current medication and in such cases could opt to sending paper prescriptions by post.

Nominations can be made using our Repeat Prescriptions online programme (click to register), or directly from your doctor's surgery before we can arrange for your prescription to be collected. Pharmacy Direct Ltd software is now enabled to receive and process the new NHS ELECTRONIC prescriptions but patients should be advised to check with their doctor's in order to confirm whether their surgery has already been enabled to issue ELECTRONIC prescriptions prior to requesting prescriptions in ELECTRONIC format.

The current NHS prescription charge is £7.20 per item but for any patients that are exempt, they will have to sign an exemption declaration as well as present their exemption card to our driver.
