These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the www.pharmacy2u.co.uk website and every order placed with Pharmacy2U. We understand that legal documents such as these can be difficult to understand. For that reason, we have worked with the Plain English Campaign to ensure they are easy to understand.
Introduction
We are Pharmacy2U, a limited company registered in England - company number 03802593. We are the largest online pharmacy in the UK and are registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council - registration number: 9010146.
We may change these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
Registration, accepting these Terms, and our contract with you
The contents of this web site are directed solely at those who access the site from the UK. Your use of this website and any purchase by you on this website of any products is governed by English Law and will be deemed to have taken place in England and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. Risk and title in the products will pass to you when they are dispatched by us to you, from the UK, and you acknowledge and agree to be responsible for complying with any restrictions around the receipt and use by you of the products. While we always aim to accommodate your wishes for the most convenient delivery of your medication, Pharmacy2U reserves the right to restrict delivery of your orders of prescribed medication to the address on the prescription or the address registered at your GP surgery issuing the prescription.
To register with and use this site you must be over 18 and the details which you give us must be true. You will be responsible for your use of this site and for your orders so please ensure that you keep your log-in details secure so that no-one else can misuse them. Pharmacy2U has taken care in the preparation of the content of this web site. To the fullest extent permitted by the law, Pharmacy2U disclaims all warranties of any kind with respect to the content of this web site.
Pharmacy2U and its directors or related companies shall not be liable for any losses or claims arising directly or indirectly from use of this web site except that this exclusion of liability does not apply to any damages in connection with death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Pharmacy2U, its directors or employees. All content of this web site is for information purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, rather it is designed to support, not replace, the relationship between you and your healthcare providers. You should make sure that you carefully read all product packaging and labels prior to use.
If you have, or suspect you may have a health problem you should consult your doctor. Please consult your doctor before taking any new product, particularly if you are already under medical care. Any links on this web site to other web sites are provided for your interest only and Pharmacy2U has no control over these sites and so no responsibility or liability for their content and the links do not imply any endorsement of content. If any of these terms are held to be invalid or unenforceable then the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Once an order has been placed, the transaction is processed manually at the premises.
Orders and payment
Once an order has been placed, the transaction is processed manually at the premises of Pharmacy2U by our registered pharmacists who are members of the General Pharmaceutical Council. This website should be regarded as an invitation to treat. Any order placed by a customer is an offer to purchase, which Pharmacy2U may accept or decline in its absolute discretion without having to give a reason. A confirmation email is notification that we have received your offer on our website. A contract is deemed to be made at the point of a sale invoice being issued by Pharmacy2U following checking of orders by a pharmacist. We only deliver prescription medication within the UK.
Payment will usually be taken by Pharmacy2U at the time that goods are dispatched (except for payments using PayPal which are debited to the customer account at the time of placing the order). Where a customer payment is subsequently rejected or returned for any reason, the customer will be responsible for providing prompt alternative means of payment. In the event of default, reasonable collection charges and/or solicitors' fees will be added to the customer's account. EU residents pay the VAT inclusive price. Non-EU/exempt residents pay the exclusive price. All NHS Prescription Services provided by Pharmacy2U are provided on a "best endeavours" basis. Requests made electronically from this website will be forwarded to your doctor as soon as possible. By placing your request, you are instructing Pharmacy2U to request and collect your prescription from your GP. In order to ensure safe receipt of any electronic prescription issued in relation to your request, we may re-confirm your pharmacy nomination before this is forwarded to your doctor. Due to the range of third-party networks and innovative technology used for this transmission, we are unable to guarantee a time of arrival of the request at your GP surgery or absolutely guarantee that it will arrive at all. You are responsible for determining and checking if this request has been received.
Pharmacy2U will endeavour to ensure that all Prescription Only Medicines (POM) prices are correct on the website. In some cases, the prices may vary due to manufacturer price increase, product availability and/or special-order requirement. In such cases Pharmacy2U will contact you on receipt of the prescription to inform you of any price difference. We are legally only able to dispense medicines for you when we have received either an electronic prescription which has been digitally signed by a prescribing doctor or alternatively a conventional paper prescription signed in writing by a prescribing doctor. Prescriptions are issued entirely at the discretion of the prescriber.
Free NHS prescriptions
In some situations, patients are automatically entitled to free NHS prescriptions. You can check whether you’re entitled to receive free prescriptions here.
What information do we need?
When registering as a Pharmacy2U patient, we’ll ask whether you pay for your NHS prescriptions. If you’re entitled to free NHS prescriptions, we’ll ask the reason and if applicable when it’s due to expire. We’ll then remind you when your exemption is due to expire.
Pharmacy2U uses the NHS’s Real Time Exemption Checking (RTEC) system to confirm your exemption status. If it cannot confirm your exemption, we’ll use the information provided on your account.
We don’t ask for physical proof of your entitlement but it’s your responsibility to make sure the information we hold is accurate and up to date. You can do this through your online account or by contacting our Customer Care team. Read how to update us here.
The NHS carry out checks on the exemption status of patients. Anyone found to be claiming free prescriptions falsely, could be liable for a penalty fine. By supplying accurate information, you also ensure we don’t charge you incorrectly.
What happens when my exemption from paying NHS prescription charges expires?
If your exemption has expired and you have not updated us with new valid details, we may begin taking payment for prescription charges if you’ve given us your payment details. Without payment details it could delay our dispensing process while we make contact with you.
If you’ve been exempt from paying NHS prescription charges for one of the following reasons, you will need to pay for your prescriptions upon expiry.
You have a maternity exemption certificate
You are a child under 16 years old
You are aged between 16 and 18 and are in full time education
Any account with an expired exemption that holds valid payment details will be charged for their prescriptions.
In other instances we’ll continue to honour your entitlement to free prescriptions, unless informed of a change in circumstances.
Please note, without valid proof of your exemption, the NHS could issue you with a fine for making a false claim.
You can update your details by logging in to your online account or contacting us.
NHS prepayment certificates (PPC)
An NHS prepayment certificate (PPC) can help patients who are prescribed multiple regular medicines save money on their prescriptions. You can learn about and purchase PPCs online here. Having a valid PPC means you’ve already paid. Therefore, we won’t charge you for NHS prescriptions during the period covered by the PPC, and your account will be classed as ‘exempt from paying prescription charges’.
If your circumstances change, it’s still your responsibility to keep us up to date with accurate information.
Managing other people's medication
In principle, registration for our service must be done personally by the patient, but in certain circumstances registration can be done for or on behalf of someone else. You can register an account and order repeat prescription medicines for others online when you
are the responsible parent or legal guardian for a minor,
have been appointed guardian in a 'guardianship order' or 'hospital section' made under the Mental Health Act, or
have explicitly been authorised to act on behalf of another or have the authority to represent someone else as their proxy and you have first obtained consent from the patient that you act as their proxy to manage their medication and for the pharmacist or pharmacist technician responsible for any order to access their NHS Summary Care Record.
When you assist someone with the technical aspects of setting up an account and managing prescriptions, you must ensure that the patient understands the steps taken, and terms accepted and give you clear instructions to give consent at the relevant steps of the registration or ordering process.
Damaged items
If your prescription medicines appear to be damaged or if the delivery appears to be wrong then please contact 0113 265 0222 or email [email protected]. We will make every effort to replace any damaged products.
Permission to view your NHS Summary Care Record
Your Summary Care Record (SCR) contains information from your health record such as your current prescription details, allergies and any bad reactions to medication you have had in the past. It will also include your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly. In providing care to you, Pharmacy2U would like to view your Summary Care Record in order to provide the best possible care for you from the most up to date information available. Whenever your record is accessed, the details will be recorded should you wish to question this at any point in the future. You can change this permission at any point just by contacting us. You can opt-out of having an SCR altogether and you should contact your GP practice who will record this, if this is your preference.
For more information on the Summary Care Record, please visit www.digital.nhs.uk/summary-care-records/patients

NHS Pharmacy First Service
In partnership with PharmSmart Limited (a company registered in England and Wales with number 07757402 and its registered office at Fifth Floor Watson House, 54-60 Baker Street, London, W1U 7BU), we are offering the NHS Pharmacy First Service. This service allows pharmacists to manage episodes of care for patients, potentially eliminating the need for a general practice visit. It includes the supply of appropriate medicines for minor illnesses and contributes to saving up to 10 million general practice appointments annually.
The NHS Pharmacy First Service encompasses three core components:
Pharmacy First (Clinical Pathways): A new element allowing management of seven common conditions following specific clinical pathways.
Pharmacy First (Urgent Repeat Medicine Supply): Previously part of the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS).
Pharmacy First (NHS Referrals for Minor Illness): Also previously part of the CPCS.
Conditions Covered The service caters to the following conditions, with specified age ranges:
Acute Otitis Media*: 1 to 17 years
Impetigo: 1 year and over
Infected Insect Bites: 1 year and over
Shingles: 18 years and over
Sinusitis: 12 years and over
Sore Throat: 5 years and over
Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections: Women 16-64 years
*Note: Distance Selling Pharmacies, including Pharmacy2U, will not conduct consultations for Acute Otitis Media.
Consultations are confidential and involve a comprehensive assessment by the pharmacist. This may include reviewing medical history, allergies, current medications, and symptoms. For certain conditions, a physical examination might be necessary. The pharmacist will recommend a course of action based on individual patient needs. A clinical consultation record will be maintained and shared with the patient’s GP.
Our patients in England have the opportunity to utilise the NHS Pharmacy First Service via video consultations. These consultations are conducted at no charge. However, the provision of any treatment following these consultations is contingent upon a thorough suitability assessment. Please be aware that there may be charges for treatments provided, subject to their availability.
All our pharmacists rigorously adhere to the professional standards and guidelines set by their respective bodies and the NHS for this service. To access the NHS Pharmacy First services, you are required to register with Pharmacy2U and create a secure online patient record. By registering for our NHS Pharmacy First services, you undertake to:
Ensure the accuracy and completeness of all information you provide.
Maintain the confidentiality of your username and password, taking all necessary precautions to safeguard and refrain from sharing your online patient record login details with any third party.
The service specification, clinical pathways and patient group directions/clinical protocol for this service are all available on the dedicated NHS England website. See Appendix 1 for frequently asked questions about the Pharmacy First service.

4. Where do I send returns?
Once you've told our Customer Care team about returning your items, please post them to:

Once you've told our Customer Care team that you are returning the goods, you have a legal duty to keep them in a good condition and return them at your expense.
We can deduct an amount from the refund to reflect any loss of value of the goods. This deduction may be equal to the full cost of the goods if the loss in value is the result of unnecessary handling by you. The extent to which you can handle goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop before buying them.
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation & Additional Charges) Regulations 2014, we will refund the full amount you paid for the goods, including the basic delivery charge, within 14 days of you telling our Customer Care team about the return or providing proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier.
