Emergency Prescription Supply
Ran out of a regular medicine? We can help under the NHS emergency supply scheme.
If you have run out of a repeat prescription medicine and cannot contact your GP, our pharmacist can supply a small amount to keep you going.
The NHS Emergency Supply service is designed for genuine urgent situations, such as evenings, weekends, or bank holidays when your surgery is closed.
We will check your records, confirm the medicine is safe for you, and provide enough to bridge the gap until your next prescription.
What to expect
- A short conversation with the pharmacist about the medicine
- A safety check against your records and clinical guidance
- A supply to cover the period until your GP can issue a new script
- A follow-up reminder to contact your surgery
