How to order from the Pharmacy

If you are paying for your own prescription, there are three ways to submit your Pharmacy orders. (If you are covered by the NHS, skip down to the section "How to reorder from the Pharmacy through the NHS".)  

Important: in order to renew prescriptions and/or order nutritional products, patients are required to have had a consultation with a doctor within the last 12 months. Prescriptions/pharmacy orders will not be processed unless a consultation within the appropriate time frame is on record. If an order cannot be processed due to the time limit being exceeded, the patient will be notified as soon as possible.

1)  Visit www.breakspearmedical.com/shop

• Register online (your membership application will be processed within 3 working days).
• Once you are fully registered, you can search, view, order and pay by credit/debit card securely online anytime of the day or night.
• Prescription only medicines (POMs) are not available online.  Please contact Pharmacy directly 01442 261 333 ext 291 to order.

2)  Complete and email a Pharmacy PDF Order Form

• If you have Adobe Reader, open the Pharmacy PDF Order Form. (You must have Adobe Reader to use this form, which can be downloaded free from Adobe.)
• Fill in the blue highlighted boxes. Make sure to state the full name and address of where the order is to be posted.
• Click on the "SEND FORM BY EMAIL" box in the top right, which automatically emails your completed form to Pharmacy without displaying a confirmation message that the document was sent; the completed form email will be put into your email outbox.  You may get a message on your computer, asking you to "Indicate the option which best describes how you send your email".  This is not an error message; please select "Desktop Email Application" if you use Microsoft Outlook Express, Outlook or Mail or select "Internet Email" if you use Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail and follow the detailed instructions.
• If you want a saved copy of the completed form, while you are in Adobe Reader, use File > Save As and save the document onto your computer.  You can save the document and manually attach it to an email instead of using the "SEND FORM BY EMAIL" box.
• If you save a copy of the completed form onto your computer, you can re-send the completed form to order everything the same or amend the form and resend without having to re-enter all your personal details.
• If you wish to order more than 11 items (which is how many boxes there are on the form), simply save the first completed order form onto your computer and then use "save as" to save a second document of a different file name, which you can then alter and save as page 2 of your order.  You can then attach both files to an email to send.  Alternatively you can use the "SEND FORM BY EMAIL" button on the completed forms.
• The Pharmacy will process the order and send it to you as soon as possible together with the invoice.

3)  Complete a (printed out) Pharmacy Order Form

• Print out and complete the Pharmacy Order Form. Make sure to state the full name and address of where the order is to be posted.
• Fax the order to +44 (0) 1442 266 388 or post to Breakspear Medical Group, attention "Pharmacy" or drop the form off at the clinic.
• The Pharmacy will process the order and send it to you as soon as possible together with the invoice.
