Ordering your NHS prescriptions online with NewGen Pharmacy is designed to be simple, secure, and convenient. Whether you need a one-off prescription or regular repeat medicines, our service works alongside your GP and the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) to help you receive your medication in good time.
Below, we explain each step of the process.
Step 1: Register with NewGen Pharmacy
First, create an account on our website. During registration we ask for:
-
your basic personal details
-
your NHS number (if available)
-
your GP surgery information
-
payment details, if you pay for NHS prescriptions
Providing this information allows us to link with your GP and manage your prescriptions securely in line with UK data protection and pharmacy regulations.
Step 2: Nominate NewGen Pharmacy
Next, you nominate NewGen Pharmacy as your chosen pharmacy.
Once your nomination is in place, your GP can send eligible NHS prescriptions to us electronically through EPS. This means you usually will not need to collect paper prescriptions or make extra trips to a high-street pharmacy.
Step 3: Request Your Prescription
When your medicine is due, you request a repeat prescription as normal through your GP practice (for example via their online service, app, or repeat request form).
After your GP issues the prescription, it is sent electronically to NewGen Pharmacy. If you are unsure how to request a repeat, our team can guide you and, where appropriate, contact the surgery for clarification.
Step 4: We Process Your Prescription
As soon as we receive your prescription, our pharmacy team starts work.
-
A GPhC-registered pharmacist checks the prescription for accuracy and suitability.
-
We review your medicines for possible interactions or dosing issues.
-
Your medication is then dispensed safely and labelled with clear instructions.
You will receive an update by email or text when your order is ready to be dispatched.
Step 5: Home Delivery
After that, we pack your medicines securely and arrange delivery to your chosen UK address.
For certain items—such as controlled drugs or refrigerated medicines—we use tracked and signed-for Royal Mail services or equivalent couriers to provide additional security and temperature control. Details of delivery options and timescales are available on our website.
Standard delivery for NHS prescriptions is free, subject to our current terms and conditions.
Step 6: Reminders and Repeat Management
To help you stay on track with regular treatment, we can send automatic reminders when your next prescription may be due. This gives you time to request a repeat from your GP so you are less likely to run out of important medication.
