Ordering Private Prescriptions

1. What patient details are required when ordering a prescription?

You will need the patient’s first name, surname, date of birth, telephone number, and email address when ordering a prescription.

2. What prescription details are required?

The date of the prescription needs to be included and must be a maximum of 6 months prior to the date of order. Please include the full name of the product and the quantity required. We do also insist that you confirm the patient has agreed that the prescriber can obtain products from Dr. Adams Pharmacy, and also, of course, that you confirm a face-to-face consultation has taken place with the patient.

3. What prescriber details are required?

We must have both the name and signature of the prescriber, and the full registered address. Please also give us a direct email address and your registration number (e.g. GMC, GDC, NMC).

4. What you need to know about private prescriptions:

A private prescription is not written on an official NHS prescription and so is not paid for by the NHS. It is imperative that the prescribed products are required for the benefit of the patient’s well-being and health.

Private prescriptions are exclusive of VAT.

You cannot order a product that is for anyone other than the named patient with a prescription, and items must not be resold.

The medicine ordered belongs to the patient and not to the prescribing agent.

Ordering Stock Orders

You must be a registered healthcare professional to be registered with us at Dr. Adams Pharmacy, however, non-prescribers can also order products provided that they are not for named patients. Please be informed that signed orders/ stock orders are inclusive of VAT.
