The following is written for the UK.

Get prescription

  • You need a repeat prescription for all your medication.

  • You do not need to pay for prescriptions

  • It is easiest to get repeat prescriptions via the app (see below)

Local pharmacy

If you order medication, you typically need to wait a couple of days until it is ready for pick up. This depends a bit on where you live. If it is urgent, there are also 24H pharmacies, but they might be quite far from where you live.

Get delivery

Your university might have a medication delivery service. You can ask your student union, or your well-being team, or your medical team.

Use NHS or similar app

Install the NHS app which allows you to book appointments, order repeat prescriptions, see results, view your medical records and communicate with the surgery.
