Ask your GP to nominate us, or come in and we will set it up. Your prescriptions are then sent to us electronically, no paper needed.
We dispense and check your prescription as soon as it comes in. If there is a supply issue, we will let you know and sort it out.
Come in and collect when you are ready. If you ordered through Healthera, track when it is ready before you leave the house.
If you take regular medication, we dispense your repeats and contact you if there is a stock issue or query. Order via the NHS App, your GP’s online system, or call us directly. Allow at least two to three working days for your GP to process the request. Every dispensing includes medication checks, interaction screening, and advice on correct use and storage.
We dispense private prescriptions from any UK-registered prescriber private GPs, consultants, or pharmacy prescribers. Private prescription costs reflect the actual price of the medicine plus a dispensing fee. There is no standard £9.90 charge. For some medicines, a private prescription costs less than the NHS charge. We will always confirm the price before dispensing. High-value or specialist medicines can be ordered if not held in stock.
Run out of medication and cannot get a prescription in time? Through the BNSSG Community Pharmacy Emergency Supply Service, we can supply a short course of your regular prescription medicine at NHS expense. No out-of-hours GP call needed. Standard NHS charges apply, or the supply is free if you are exempt. Our pharmacist records the supply and informs your GP as part of the service. This covers most prescription-only medicines you have been previously prescribed.
EPS lets your GP send your prescription directly to us, electronically. Over 95% of prescriptions in England are now sent this way.

You can track your prescription status on the NHS App. Nominate us at your GP surgery, through the NHS App, or in person at the pharmacy.
eRD lets your GP authorise a batch of repeat issues in advance. They are stored on the NHS Spine and sent to us automatically at your set interval. Fewer calls to the surgery, fewer delays, less chance of running out. Our team asks a few brief safety questions before each issue. Ask your GP whether eRD is appropriate for your medication.
