Private Prescription Online UK

A private prescription can be issued during an online GP consultation when the assessing doctor judges it clinically appropriate. At The Online GP, consultations start at £59 by phone and £150 by video, 7 days a week with no waiting list. Approved prescriptions are sent electronically to your chosen UK pharmacy, often the same day.

How it works

  1. Book. Choose a phone (£59) or video (£150) consultation, 7 days a week including weekends.
  2. Meet your doctor. A GMC-registered doctor assesses you and decides whether a prescription is clinically appropriate.
  3. Collect your medicine. Approved prescriptions are sent electronically to your nominated UK pharmacy. You pay the pharmacy's own price for the medicine itself.

What our GPs can prescribe

  • Common medications where clinically appropriate, including antibiotics in line with NICE guidelines. Antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections; the doctor will explain why and suggest alternatives.
  • Repeat prescriptions for stable, long-term conditions, following an initial consultation.
  • Fit notes, medical letters and specialist referrals can also be issued during the same appointment where clinically justified.

What we cannot prescribe

Controlled drugs are prescribed only within the law and GMC remote prescribing guidance, and generally not at a first remote consultation. No prescription is guaranteed before a consultation: every clinical decision sits with the assessing doctor.

What it costs

Phone consultation £59. Video consultation £150. Same-day appointments are available 7 days a week. The medicine itself is charged by the pharmacy at its own dispensed price.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prescribe antibiotics? Yes, when clinically appropriate. Our GPs follow NICE guidelines on antibiotic prescribing and will not prescribe antibiotics for viral infections.

Can I get a repeat prescription online? For stable, long-term conditions, we can issue repeat prescriptions following an initial consultation.

How do I receive my prescription? Approved prescriptions are sent electronically to your nominated UK pharmacy, often the same day.

Is a prescription guaranteed? No. All clinical decisions, including whether to prescribe, are made at the sole discretion of the assessing doctor and are not guaranteed before the consultation.
