The procedure of collecting a prescription, taking it to your pharmacist, and paying on a routine basis can be tedious and time-consuming. This is despite the fact that NHS medications are typically affordable (and occasionally even free) to the individuals who need them most. Can I get free prescription delivery near me in Kirkham?

Through our prescription delivery service, we can lessen some of the stress associated with regular prescriptions. Patients who use repeat prescriptions can sign up for this service to have their medication delivered wherever they are.
How our repeat prescription delivery service in Kirkham works
The first step is registering for the repeat prescription delivery service with HMI Pharmacy. Here, you’ll provide your patient information, such as the name of your doctor’s office and the repeat prescriptions you are using. Additionally, you’ll give us information about your bank account, so we can collect payment for your prescriptions. However, this is done only if you pay for them, and after delivery. It’s simple to sign up for this service.
The second step is for our team to get in touch with your GP office and request a repeat prescription. Once we receive it, we prepare and send your medications when you need them.
We’ll send you reminders to take your medication, as well as reminders to request repeat prescriptions each month. This is to make sure you’re still getting the meds you need. By getting in touch with us, you can update your information. Also, you will be able to inform us if you no longer require one of your medications or if there’s a change in your prescription. You have a choice in how you want to be reminded.
The final stage is the free delivery of all medications. Choose a UK address, such as your house, workplace, caregiver’s home, or neighbour’s home, and we will send your medication. You will be notified when your prescription has been processed prior to delivery. When your prescription is sent out, we will deduct the cost from your account if you pay for your medications. We advise you to order a repeat prescription at least a day or two before you need your medications to be delivered.
You don’t need to sign for it; all you need is a UK address and a letterbox to receive your prescription. Our packaging is safe and tamper-resistant and can fit through a letterbox of a standard size. However, if your medication does not fit, which is unlikely, our mailing agent will inform you and help you set up a collection or redelivery.
Free prescription home delivery for those over the age of 70
We can provide free medication delivery to your home. Therefore, it won’t be necessary for you to visit the pharmacy to collect your medication (if you are on our Repeat Prescription Service). Also, we will inform your doctor that you are using our service.
Please be aware that only our customers over the age of 70 can use this speciality service.
In the event that you are unable to visit our pharmacy during business hours, we provide a 24-hour collection service.
