We may contact you for some or all of the following reasons: (i) to provide you with updates about prescription orders or service appointments; (ii) to deal with complaints or enquiries you have raised; (iii) where required to do so by a regulator or to comply with law (e.g., if there is a product recall or safety issue); (iv) to send you prescription updates, notifications or reminders primarily via SMS; (v) to notify you about NHS services which we believe you may be eligible for such as NHS Flu and Covid Vaccinations (unless you’ve opted-out of receiving these messages); and (vi) to provide you with health advice, where you have requested this or where we are required to do so for safety reasons.

How to register for and use our services

  1. Registration. To be able to place orders through our digital service, you must first register your details and create an account with us. You can register for and use our services provided that you are at least sixteen (16) years old and a resident of England. You must also be currently registered with an NHS GP practice integrated with the Electronic Prescription Service.
  2. You must provide all details that we request during the registration process to use our services. From the point at which you nominate us as your pharmacy, all prescriptions issued by your GP surgery will be sent to this pharmacy for dispensing. You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time by contacting your GP surgery. Your nominated pharmacy will also change automatically if, at any time, you ask another pharmacy to request a prescription on your behalf.
  3. How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we notify you that we have accepted it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
  4. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will notify you of this and will not charge you for the product or the service. This might be because:
    1. you do not meet the eligibility criteria relevant to the product or service;
    2. our pharmacists consider that the product or service is not suitable for you;
    3. your GP surgery has not accepted our prescription request;
    4. the product is out of stock;

Where you have given us the authorisation that we need in compliance with these terms and conditions, we will pass on your request for a repeat prescription to your NHS GP surgery. We will forward all requests for repeat prescriptions to your NHS GP surgery as soon as possible; however, due to the technology involved in transmitting your request, we cannot guarantee that your request will be received or accepted by your NHS GP surgery or that they will respond to your request within a particular timeframe. If your NHS GP surgery will not accept repeat prescription requests from third parties, you will be responsible for submitting your request for a repeat prescription to your GP surgery directly and requesting that it is sent to us via EPS to dispense and dispatch to you in sufficient time to allow your prescription to be processed.
  6. Where you are using our services to request prescriptions, our pharmacy team will confirm your details by checking the information that we hold about you against, information accessible to us on the NHS systems and your NHS Summary Care Record, where appropriate, and forward your request to your NHS GP surgery. The request will include your personal details provided to us when you register for your account with us. Your request may not be processed immediately and you may be contacted by your GP surgery before we are able to process your prescription
  7. We have no control over any delays to the processing of your prescription which are caused by your GP surgery’s delay in issuing it. If your prescription appears to be delayed, we would recommend that you contact your GP surgery directly to make sure that it has been issued to us before contacting us to see where your order is.
  8. Our dispensing with delivery service is not suitable for urgently required prescriptions, as the process of dispensing and delivering your order to you will always take at least 48 hours.
  9. Once your prescription has been received by us, we will dispense it in accordance with the same strict rules and guidance covering all community pharmacy dispensing, whether bricks and mortar or distance selling pharmacies and dispatch it using local retained delivery staff, Royal Mail or our specialist courier. If you require your prescription urgently and cannot wait for delivery, we can transfer it to an alternative pharmacy close to your home. Please note that, once your prescription has been dispensed by us, it will be too late to do this.
