Manage your repeat prescription with ease using Boots’ online service

Whether you’re managing your own medication or looking after it for a loved one, requesting and collecting repeat prescriptions can add hassle to an already stressful situation. Luckily, Boots Online Prescriptions is here to help ease the load.

A free online service that enables you to order and manage NHS repeat prescriptions, it can be accessed either by signing up to Boots Online Prescriptions using your NHS login details if you are registered with a GP in England, or by signing up via your personal boots.com online account.

Claire Nevinson, superintendent pharmacist for Boots UK, says: “Boots Online Prescriptions is a simple way to order repeat NHS prescriptions for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.

“With the facility to track the progress of your prescription, handy notifications when your medication is ready to collect or dispatched for delivery, and reminders to reorder each time your medication is due, Boots Online Prescriptions works around you.”

A convenient, accessible and flexible service, Boots Online Prescriptions gives you the means to monitor and collect medication in the way that best suits your lifestyle, with a click-and-collect service from more than 1,000 stores across the UK or free delivery to your home address (England only).

Offering support in person as well as online, many Boots stores in England now offer the NHS Pharmacy First Service, giving customers advice and prescription treatment for seven common conditions without the need for a GP appointment.

These are shingles, impetigo, earache, infected insect bites, sore throats, sinusitis and uncomplicated urinary tract infections (women only).
