When you book an appointment with their online GPs can they give you a prescription? How does that work, can it just be sent to a pharmacy or something?
In my experience they will only give you something acute, e.g. an antibiotic. Anything longer term or more serious, they'll direct you back to your proper GP.
I've had perceptions quite a few times from Benenden GP, they give you a code to give at the chemist. Can't remember exact cost but less than £10. Worth it when you can't get GP appt and dont want to wait an eternity to get one.
Yes but you pay the private prescription charge
Ah good!
Is that a generic charge, like a fiver or something? They send the script to your pharmacy?
It'll depend on whatever the medication is and the list price your pharmacy gets it for.
It’ll be the cost price of the medication + VAT with a dispensing fee on top which can vary depending on what the individual pharmacy chages
No it depends on the medication it could be up to £30 depending on what it is. I got antibiotics last week from my BUPA GP & it was £23.
If you contact your gp they may change it to an NHS perscription

They ask which pharmacy you want them to send it to. When I used them I was prescribed antibiotics, it was £6 fee I paid at the pharmacy.
