GP Prescriptions

Private GP Prescriptions

Private GP prescriptions from YourGP offer a quick and easy way to get the medication you need, especially away from home travelling, or on business.

We can provide you with a replacement prescription:

• If you need replacement medication
• If you are on holiday and have forgotten or lost your medicine
• We can also advise you on the supply of medication for chronic conditions and provide you with the appropriate prescriptions where feasible

*Our private prescription service for controlled drugs will be issued in liaison with your NHS practice where feasible.  There is a set fee for every controlled drug prescription issued, click here to see our latest price list).

How Private GP Prescriptions Works

If you need a private prescription you:

• Book a consultation with one of our GPs
• Bring along your empty bottle or old prescription
• The GP will assess your requirements and issue a prescription for you to take to any pharmacy

Once we have assessed your requirements, we will then issue any required prescription.

How Much Does a Private Prescription Cost?

The cost for a controlled drug prescription is £40, while a repeat prescription costs £30. 

These costs are specific to private prescriptions and are different from NHS prescription charges, which have a standard fee per item unless the patient is exempt from payment. 

Private prescription costs can vary from one pharmacy to another and may also depend on the medication prescribed.

Pharmacist’s fees vary for prescribed medications, these are outside the control of YourGP.
