In England, if you are given a repeat prescription for regular medication, then you need to arrange a convenient method for ordering a new repeat prescription before your medication runs out. This can be done in a number of ways. You can order your repeat prescriptions at Rushton Pharmacy, and we will track the progress of your order and have your prescription ready within 3 working days* of placing your order. From experience, we know that patients who do choose an online pharmacy, such as Echo (who are owned by Lloyds), or Pharmacy2U, will often revert to our service, since ours is a personalised service that will inevitably be more reliable than one location using Royal Mail to deliver nationally, as most online pharmacies do. Such Pharmacies are also unable to assist with an emergency prescription on the odd occasion that you may have ordered late or the GP may not have produced the prescription on time. They are also generally unable to offer additional advice on the medicines dispensed and even on saving money on prescriptions costs through prepayment certificates, which we always offer at no extra charge. *3 working days is an estimated time. We aim to complete the process in this time, but on 5-10% of occasions delays from GP surgeries may extend the time taken.
