We dispense all NHS prescriptions. We keep a comprehensive stock of prescription medicines and use a fast and efficient wholesaler service to enable us to fill all prescriptions promptly.

We can get   your NHS prescription electronically from your GP once you have nominated us as your dispensing pharmacy or you can post your original paper prescription to us if you would like us to dispense and deliver a one off prescription. Once we have received your prescriptions, the dispensary team will prepare your medication. Our pharmacist is always on hand to answer any questions or concerns you may have about any medication you are taking.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you are unsure of the dosage of your medication and if you are concerned about any potential side effects. Your pharmacist is a medical professional who can give you advice about your medication, discreetly and in total confidence.

You can order your repeat prescriptions online via Doorstep Pharmacy’s Healthera App,  the NHS App or if you have an NHS login
