Indicative private service prices — compare pharmacies on Pick My Pharmacy
| Service | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Private flu jab | £12–£25 |
| Earwax Removal (both ears) | £50–£80 |
| NHS prescription | £9.90 per item — same at every pharmacy |
NHS prescription charges are set nationally — £9.90 per item in England; free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland — and never vary by pharmacy. Only private services differ in price.
Search Colchester or your postcode on Pick My Pharmacy, then filter by NHS services, Pharmacy First, or distance-selling.
Community branches appear with a town and postcode. Online pharmacies that deliver to Colchester are listed as UK-wide. Save up to three to compare. Confirm hours with the pharmacy — we do not invent timetables.
NHS items cost £9.90 at every English contractor — Colchester pharmacies cannot set their own NHS fee.
Nominate one pharmacy in the NHS App so repeats route there. Pharmacy First (England’s seven pathways) is a separate commissioned service — an NHS contract is not proof a branch offers it today. Private travel vaccines and earwax removal are priced by the pharmacy.
Open the profile, copy the GPhC premises number, search it on pharmacyregulation.org, and match the address.
Every Great Britain community pharmacy must be on that register. A missing number on our card is not proof the shop is unregistered — it means we have not mapped it yet. Never send ID to a site you cannot match to the register.
