These may include the intended use of the prescribed item, proper management of the medication, special usage instructions, proper storage, refill instructions, the maximum amount of time the product can be used, common adverse effects associated with the meds, and things to avoid.

The private consultation meetings must be conducted in accordance with all relevant laws and norms, including but not limited to those governing pharmacies, professional secrecy, and the protection of patient privacy.

How our prescription collection and delivery service works

Setting up an account is the first step in applying for our prescription collection and delivery service. You will provide your patient’s information, including the name of your Surgery in Scotland and the repeat prescriptions you are now using. Additionally, you’ll give us information about your bank account, so we can quickly collect payment for your prescriptions—but only if you pay for them and after they have been delivered.

The next step is for our professional team to get in touch with your GP office and request your repeat prescription. We can prepare to send your medicines when you need them once we have the prescription and your patient information.

Free delivery of your medications is the final stage. Choose a UK address, such as your house, workplace, caregiver’s home, or a neighbour’s home, and we will send your medication at no cost to you. You will be notified when your prescription has been processed prior to delivery.

Who is eligible for this service?

Anyone above the age of 18 who needs repeat prescriptions can use this programme, but there are a few eligibility requirements you should be aware of before you sign up.

The first is that this service depends on the usage of electronic prescriptions, thus in order for you to use it, your Surgery must be capable of providing electronic prescriptions.

The next step is for our team to get in touch with your GP office and request your repeat prescription.
