Unless a specific arrangement has been made for you to collect prescriptions without seeing a doctor, i.e. for repeat prescriptions, you will normally be asked to make an appointment before any treatment is prescribed. 

Please note that the pharmacies are no longer requesting your medications on your behalf – it is your responsibility to order your repeat medications in a timely fashion. There are some exceptions e.g. disability, specific medical condition etc.

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.
