your common questions.
Frequently asked questions
How much do prescriptions costs?
We don’t charge for private prescriptions.
Find out more about prescription charges (nhs.uk).
What should you do with old medicines?
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
Can I get a private prescription?
A private prescription is not written on an official NHS prescription and so is not paid for by the NHS. A prescription is a legal document for which the doctor, who has issued and signed it, is responsible. A doctor you see privately is unable to issue an NHS prescription.
What do pharmacists do?
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.
Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
