NHS Prescriptions

Compare pharmacies that dispense NHS prescriptions — nominate a pharmacy for repeat prescriptions, check delivery options, and understand charges.

Most community and online pharmacies in the UK dispense NHS prescriptions. In England, each item costs a fixed £9.90 unless you're exempt — the price never varies between pharmacies, so choose based on convenience, opening hours, delivery, and how repeat prescriptions are handled instead. Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. You can nominate one pharmacy to automatically receive your GP's electronic prescriptions, making repeat medication collection or delivery simpler. If you take several regular medicines, a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) can cut your annual cost significantly — a 3-month PPC breaks even at 4 items, a 12-month PPC at 12 items across the year.

How much does an NHS prescription cost?

In England each NHS item is £9.90 unless you are exempt. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland do not charge. No pharmacy can set a different NHS item fee.

If you pay in England and collect several items a year, a Prescription Prepayment Certificate often costs less than paying per item. A 3-month PPC typically breaks even at four items; a 12-month PPC at twelve. HRT has a separate HRT PPC.

Exemptions (age, maternity, listed conditions, some benefits) are a legal entitlement — bring evidence if the pharmacy asks. This site does not decide exemption.

What is a nominated pharmacy?

Nomination tells the Electronic Prescription Service which pharmacy should receive your GP’s electronic prescriptions. You can change it; you do not have to stick with the first shop you used.

Ask the new pharmacy to set nomination, or use the NHS App where your practice supports it. Paper prescriptions can still be taken to any NHS dispenser.

Distance-selling pharmacies can be nominated so repeats arrive by post. Keep a local branch in mind for fridge lines, controlled drugs, and same-day needs.

How should you use the pharmacy list below?

The cards are GPhC-registered premises flagged as NHS dispensers on our snapshot — not a guarantee of today’s stock or a pharmacist on duty.

Compare opening arrangements with the pharmacy itself; we do not invent hours. For Pharmacy First clinical pathways see that service page — an NHS contract is not proof those seven England pathways are commissioned here.

Always verify the premises number on pharmacyregulation.org if the name is unfamiliar.

We only list a pharmacy here when the service is confirmed on its profile, so this is not every pharmacy that offers it. To check a pharmacy near you, open your town or city page and phone ahead.

Ratings and rankings are our editorial opinion, based on our publishedmethodology — they are not medical advice and pharmacies cannot pay to change a score. Where a pharmacy has no reviews we show "Not yet rated" — we never invent scores.Listings labelled Featured orReferral partner are paid placements; payment affects visibility only, never ratings or match results. We may receive a fee when you send a private-service enquiry.Private service prices are indicative — always confirm directly with the pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an NHS prescription cost?▼

In England, each NHS prescription item costs £9.90, frozen for 2026/27. Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Certain groups — including under-16s, over-60s, and people with some medical conditions — are exempt in England too.

Can any pharmacy dispense my NHS prescription?▼

Yes, any GPhC-registered pharmacy dispensing NHS services can process your prescription, whether it's a paper prescription you bring in or an electronic one sent from your GP. Nominating one pharmacy makes repeat prescriptions simpler but isn't required.

How do I switch my nominated pharmacy?▼

Ask your new pharmacy to update your nomination — most can do this in-store or online in a few minutes — or update it yourself via the NHS App if your GP practice supports it.

How do I check a pharmacy offering nhs prescriptions is GPhC-registered?▼

Open the listing, copy the premises registration number, and search it on pharmacyregulation.org. Match the name and address before you send ID, start a consultation, or pay. Pick My Pharmacy is a directory — we do not supply nhs prescriptions.

Does Pick My Pharmacy provide nhs prescriptions?▼

No. We compare GPhC-registered pharmacies. The pharmacy you choose supplies the service after its own clinical checks. Paid placements are labelled and never change a rating.
