When will you call me?

If you are starting a new cycle of treatment, we would expect to receive your prescription and contact you at least 48 hours before your start date.

How much will it cost?

Once we receive your prescription, we will prepare a detailed quote. We will discuss this with you when we call to arrange delivery. We will also discuss any additional requirements, such as sharps bins, needles, syringes.

What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay over the phone using any debit or credit card except AMEX. Alternatively, we can provide you with our information for a BACS transfer. Payments are required by 2pm the day before the scheduled delivery.

Can I make amendments to the prescription sent by my clinician or nurse?

We can only dispense items included on the prescription by your clinician. At your request, we can dispense less than prescribed, (not more) (except where this will negatively affect your treatment regimen) but strongly recommend that you discuss this with your clinical team to ensure that you have enough medication for your treatment.

If you have any other queries with your prescription, we will work closely with you to contact the clinic and resolve any issues as delays can affect the delivery process.

Our personalised service wants to ensure that the medication reaches YOU directly without any delays. As such, we can deliver to your place of work, but only recommend this if it is a place where deliveries get to you directly and quickly with little chance of misplacement. For example, we do not deliver to hospitals, universities or pharmacies.
