Services we offer:

How It Works

How the Prescription Dispensing Service Works

[Step 01]

Submitting Your Prescription

You can drop off your paper prescription or have your GP send it electronically via EPS. If you’re registered with us, your GP can send prescriptions directly.

[Step 02]

Fast Medication Preparation

We process your prescription quickly. Routine items are usually ready the same day, or we’ll inform you when to return.

[Step 03]

Collection or Delivery

Collect your medication in-store, Monday to Saturday. If you can’t pick it up, we offer home delivery for a small fee within Islington and across the UK.

NHS Charges

What You Will Pay

NHS prescriptions cost £9.90 per item. Exemptions apply—ask us or use the NHSBSA checker. Consider a prepayment certificate for 11+ items yearly. As of April 2026, some benefits no longer qualify.

How EPS Works

Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

EPS lets GPs, dentists, and other prescribers send prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy online. No paper. No trips to collect a form from the surgery.

Benefits of EPS

Faster prescription processing

Your prescription gets to our pharmacy before you, so we can often have your medicine ready for pickup right away.

Fewer paper prescriptions

You no longer need to visit your GP surgery to collect a physical prescription. This is particularly useful for patients managing conditions that require regular medication.

Convenient repeat prescription management

EPS works with Electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD). This lets your GP authorise multiple prescriptions ahead of time. We dispense each batch when it is due, removing the need to reorder every time.

How to Nominate Our Pharmacy

Nomination takes a few minutes and only needs to be done once.

Simple GP nomination process

Tell your GP practice that you would like to nominate Chemitex Pharmacy as your EPS pharmacy. Give them our name and address: Chemitex Pharmacy, 332 Hornsey Road, London, N7 7HE.

Online or in-person support available

You can also nominate us through the NHS App. Alternatively, come in and speak to a member of our team, and we will walk you through it in person.

Ongoing Care

Repeat Prescription Management

Managing a long-term condition means you need a pharmacy you can rely on month after month. At Chemitex Pharmacy, we keep track of your repeat prescriptions so you do not have to.

We can coordinate collections from your GP surgery. We’ll process your repeat requests based on your prescription schedule. This way, your medication will be ready when you need it. Our eRD service sends your medicine automatically for patients on stable treatments. You won’t need to reorder each time.

If you have questions about your medication, our pharmacist Dipesh Jogi (GPhC [number]) is on hand to advise.
