If you order online, you can choose a pharmacy to get your prescription. This is called a nomination.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.

They can also suggest medicine you can buy without a prescription.

By Post
You can send your prescription slip or a written request to the surgery by post.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Some people do not have to pay for NHS prescriptions, dental care, eye tests, and travel to the hospital. These exemptions help those who might struggle to afford them.
The NHS prescription charge is a set amount. Governments have decided it is fair for those who can pay. If you need a lot of medicine, a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) can save you money.
You can take your NHS medications with you when traveling abroad.
For the latest prescription charge details, visit the NHS website.
These charges only apply in England. Prescriptions in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are free.
