Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. 14 listed clinics offer NHS care, 14 of them alongside private treatment. Check each clinic's listing for how to access its NHS services.
Pharmacists can advise on many minor illnesses and medicines. Under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme in England, they can also assess and supply treatment for some common conditions — such as certain infections — without you needing to see a GP first.
In England a fixed charge applies per prescription item unless you are exempt (for example children, people over 60, or those on qualifying benefits or with certain conditions). Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A prepayment certificate can save money if you need several items.
Registered online pharmacies are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), the same body that regulates high-street pharmacies. Look for the GPhC registration and a registered pharmacy logo before ordering medicines online.
