Whilst under the care of your London Pain Clinic Consultant, you can access your medication in various ways:

1. In your clinic letter we will ask your GP to prescribe the recommended medication on the NHS 
2. We can send a private prescription to one of our partner pharmacies, or post it to your home address

If your GP is able to prescribe your medication on the NHS, this will be at the standard NHS prescription price.  If this is your preferred choice.

The quickest, most efficient way to get your medication dispensed is by using our partner pharmacy, Pharmacierge – particularly where your pain is severe and you need immediate relief and don’t want to wait for a paper prescription to be posted or wait for an appointment with your GP.

If following an appointment you would like your medication dispensed by Pharmacierge they deliver within London as well as Nationwide.  Please see http://pharmacierge.com for details – it’s an exceptional, friendly and personal service from a local, family-run pharmacy.  

For topical medications typically used in the treatment of pelvic pain these will be sent to PCCA our compounding Pharmacy. PCCA UK (pccarx.co.uk)

For Medicinal Cannabis prescriptions these will be sent to one of our partner pharmacies: 

• Dispensary Green 
• Target Pharmacy 
• IPS 
• Curaleaf 

If you require a repeat prescription you will need to have been formally reviewed by your consultant within no more than 3 months, or less if your last clinic letter has specified.  Please check your most recent clinic letter.

There is a £25 fee for a private prescription outside of a review payable by card to us at the time of making the request.

Please ensure that all prescriptions are requested at least one week prior to when they are needed so that we can ensure you don’t run out.

Regular Reviews

Please note that if you require medication (i.e. a repeat prescription) from your Consultant (whether we prescribe this privately or ask your GP to prescribe the medication) you will need to have been formally reviewed by them within the last three months.

This is for Best Practice reasons, to ensure that your medication is always appropriate for your current symptoms and condition and that the dosage is correct.

We will send you two automated reminder emails following an appointment with your Consultant so please ensure that you book in for review regularly to avoid any issues such as running out of medication.  

IMPORTANT: If you are being prescribed opiate medications and/or benzodiazepines on a long-term or regular basis you may require reviews every four weeks with your Consultant, who will write to your NHS GP to keep them up to date.  Your Consultant will let you know how often he will need to review you in your particular case.

There is a £25 fee for a private prescription outside of a review payable by card to us at the time of making the request.

Please ensure that all prescriptions are requested at least one week prior to when they are needed so that we can ensure you don’t run out.

If you have any questions regarding review appointments or prescriptions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
