Private Prescriptions

At Private Medical Clinic, we offer private prescriptions to ensure our patients can quickly access the medication they need, without the delays often associated with NHS services. Following a GP consultation – either in-person or online – our doctors can issue private prescriptions for a wide range of treatments, including medications not always available through the NHS.

Private prescriptions are sent electronically to your phone and email, allowing you to conveniently collect your medication from any local UK pharmacy. This streamlined process ensures faster access to treatment, supporting your health without unnecessary wait times. As private doctors, we are unable to issue NHS prescriptions, and the cost of a private prescription is paid directly by the patient.

The total price will vary depending on the medication and the pharmacy’s dispensing fees. We charge a £25 fee for issuing private prescriptions, ensuring you receive prompt and professional service at every step of your care journey. If you need quick, reliable access to medication, book a consultation today and let us take care of the rest.

Requesting Medications

When you consult with one of our experienced GPs at the Private Medical Clinic, they assume complete responsibility for your healthcare, including the prescription of medications when required. This signifies that even if a private doctor has suggested a specific medication, your GP can still issue the prescription, provided specific conditions are satisfied.

It is advised to inform your NHS GP about any private prescriptions you receive to avoid duplication and ensure seamless continuity of care in your overall healthcare management.
