Order prescriptions online with Well Pharmacy
Now you can get your prescription quickly and easily. Just order your prescription online with Well and we’ll handle the rest.
What is the Well online prescription delivery service?
When you visit your doctor and get a prescription, usually you have to take that prescription to a pharmacy to get your medication, or if you live in England, have it sent to your pharmacy via the NHS EPS (Electronic Prescription Service). But with Well’s online pharmacy you don’t have to. You can simply order your prescription online and have it delivered direct to your door.
Why is ordering my prescription online more convenient?
Visiting a pharmacy isn’t always convenient during working hours. Or you may have mobility issues or other circumstances that makes visiting a pharmacy in person difficult. There’s also no guarantee your local pharmacy will have the medication you need. You may have to order it and return again later to pick it up.
Ordering prescriptions online is a more convenient alternative. Just log in to your account with Well Pharmacy, and we’ll handle the rest.*
How to order your prescription online
We make ordering your prescription online simple and straightforward. So, how do electronic prescriptions work? Online prescriptions with Well Pharmacy work like this:
- You order your prescription: Log in to your account through your internet browser or through our Well app, select your medication and place an order.
- We ask your GP to approve your order: We’ll contact your GP on your behalf to ask them to approve your prescription. We’ll send you a push notification and email to let you know when your prescription has been approved.
- You pay for your prescription: Log in to your account and pay for your prescription. If you don’t have to pay for prescriptions, you can upload a photo that shows your exemption, such as your NHS pre-payment certificate.
- We deliver your prescription to your door for free: As soon as your payment has been processed, we'll send your prescription to you by post. Delivery takes around three to four days. We’ll post your medication in letterbox-friendly packaging where possible, so you won’t have to wait at home for the delivery.
