We understand the importance of timely access to prescriptions and medications for maintaining your health and well-being, and Doctor Now offers a prescription and medication service designed with your convenience in mind.
Prescribed medications play a crucial role in managing patients’ health and well-being. In addition, repeat prescriptions are provided for medications that patients need to take regularly over an extended period. These are often requested by patients once their initial prescription runs out. Our GP’s will carefully monitor and review patients and associated medications to ensure their effectiveness for the patient’s health and diagnosis. In addition, regular medication reviews and consultations with patients are conducted to assess treatment efficacy, adjust dosages if necessary, and address any questions or concerns. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive optimal care and support for their medical conditions.
As a private GP service, Doctor Now’s can only issue private prescriptions. We cannot issue NHS prescriptions. With private prescriptions you pay for the cost of the medication instead of the NHS prescription fee. On occasion, the cost of the medication will be lower than an NHS prescription fee; however, costs will be higher for other medications. All pharmacies will fulfil private prescriptions; however, costs may vary between pharmacies.
Existing patients can request repeat prescriptions by clicking here and completing the online request form.
We can post your prescription to your home address; arrange for you to collect it from the surgery or we can send it direct to the pharmacy of your choice (with the exception of controlled drug scripts which must either be collected or sent by recorded delivery post either to you or to a designated pharmacy).
Alternatively, we can arrange for your medication to be delivered to your home or workplace by our pharmacy partner, Totally Pharmacy – please note a delivery fee will apply and payment for both the medication and delivery is made direct to the pharmacy.
We do carry a limited stock of common medications at our surgery, which our doctors can dispense to patients during a consultation as appropriate, saving a trip to the pharmacy. All dispensed medication is payable on the day of the consultation.
Please be aware that we cannot accept any unused or out of date medication for disposal at our surgery – you will need to take the medication to any pharmacy who will be able to dispose of it correctly for you.
