Pharmacies in the UK

Community pharmacies do far more than dispense prescriptions. Pharmacists are highly trained healthcare professionals — registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) — who can advise on minor illnesses, medicines and healthy living, often without an appointment. Online pharmacies, also GPhC-registered, dispense and deliver medicines by post.

What your pharmacy can help with

  • Prescriptions — dispensing NHS and private prescriptions, plus repeat prescription services.
  • Minor illness advice — coughs, colds, skin conditions and more. Under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme in England, pharmacists can supply treatment for some common conditions without a GP appointment.
  • Vaccinations & services — many offer flu jabs, travel vaccines, blood pressure checks and emergency contraception.

Prescription charges

In England a fixed NHS prescription charge applies per item unless you are exempt (for example children, people over 60, and those with certain conditions or on qualifying benefits). Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Prepayment certificates can save money if you need several items.

Finding a pharmacy when you need one

Some pharmacies open late or at weekends — useful when a GP surgery is closed. NHS 111 can direct you to an open pharmacy in an urgent situation. This page is information only and not medical advice; ask your pharmacist or another clinician about your specific needs.
