We Can Dispense Your Private Prescription
As a registered pharmacy, we’re here to make your private prescription process simple and stress-free.
Private prescriptions are issued by private doctors or healthcare providers, rather than through the NHS. You’ll pay your clinician for the prescription itself, then cover the cost of the medication and a small dispensing fee with us.

Private Prescriptions
As a registered pharmacy, The Organic Pharmacy are able to dispense your private prescriptions.
Private prescriptions are prescriptions which are not issued by the NHS. They can be prescribed by a range of private clinicians and healthcare providers. Patients have to pay for the cost of the prescription from their prescribing clinician, and the cost of the medication and a dispensing fee to the dispensing pharmacy.
If you don’t have a private prescription, you can visit a private GP, or other private clinician or healthcare provider; alternatively online consultations with private doctors are also available. Following a private consultation you will be issued with a private prescription, or it will be sent in the post. Prescriptions can be for one-off treatments or regular on-going medication. Please ask your clinician for an original paper prescription as at present The Organic Pharmacy only accept original paper private prescriptions. Please note that a print-out of an emailed prescription is not a legally valid original prescription.'
