How the Service Works
We’ve made the process simple and stress-free:

If deemed suitable, we will provide a limited supply of your medication to cover you until you can obtain a prescription.
- Advice & Support
We’ll provide clear usage instructions and guidance on managing your condition until you can see your GP.
