Before You Visit — Use NHS 111 First
Please complete the NHS 111 Community Pharmacy self-referral before coming to the pharmacy — either online (takes ~5 minutes) or by calling 111 for free, 24 hours a day. This allows us to access your referral and process your emergency supply faster. You should never be without your essential medication.
Complete NHS 111 Self-Referral OnlineHow It Works
Complete the NHS 111 Self-Referral First
Before visiting the pharmacy, please complete the NHS 111 Community Pharmacy referral online at 111.nhs.uk/guided-entry/medicines-help — this takes around 5 minutes. Alternatively, call 111 free of charge (24/7) and they will refer you directly to a community pharmacy. Completing this step first means our pharmacist can access your referral details and process your request more quickly.
Visit Brampton Village Pharmacy
Bring any empty medicine packaging, your NHS number, and details of your GP surgery. Our team will confirm your referral and your pharmacist will carry out a brief clinical assessment.
Pharmacist Assessment
Your pharmacist will confirm the medicine you need, check your medical history where possible, and assess whether it is clinically safe to provide an emergency supply. For most regular medicines (blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, inhalers, etc.) this is straightforward.
Emergency Supply Dispensed
Your pharmacist will dispense enough medication to cover you until you can obtain a regular prescription from your GP. They will also advise you on how to request a new prescription promptly to avoid running out again.
