How it works

A proper consultation, without the wait.

Independent prescribers are qualified clinicians who can assess you, advise you and prescribe where it is appropriate. Here is what happens from start to finish.

  1. 1

    Find the right prescriber

    Search by what you need help with, or browse by health need. Every profile says what that prescriber can help with, and what their appointment is not suitable for, so you can tell before you book.

  2. 2

    Choose a time that suits you

    You see their real availability, not a request form. Pick a time, choose video, telephone or — where they offer it — a face-to-face appointment at their practice.

  3. 3

    Have your consultation

    A proper conversation with a qualified clinician who has time to listen. They will assess you, explain your options and answer your questions.

  4. 4

    Receive advice, and a prescription if appropriate

    You will be told what they recommend and why. Where a prescription is clinically appropriate, they will issue one and explain how and where it can be dispensed.

Why you can trust who you are booking

Everyone is checked before they are listed

We confirm each prescriber against their own professional regulator — the GPhC, NMC, HCPC or GOC — and check that their independent prescribing entitlement is recorded on that register. Registration alone is not enough.

They only offer what they are approved for

A prescriber can only list a service once we have approved their competence in it. What they may lawfully prescribe is set by their profession; what they are approved to offer is decided person by person.

Your information stays private

Your appointment details are treated as health information, because that is what they are. We keep them separate from ordinary account data and never put medical detail in emails or reminders.

Common questions

Do I need to be registered with a GP?
No. A private consultation is independent of your NHS care. Your prescriber may suggest you speak to your GP as well, and will explain why if so.
Will I definitely get a prescription?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who promises one. The fee pays for a clinical assessment. A prescription is issued only where it is clinically appropriate, and sometimes the right answer is a different treatment or a referral.
Is this the same as seeing a doctor?
It is a consultation with a qualified independent prescriber — a pharmacist, nurse, midwife, physiotherapist, podiatrist or paramedic who has completed further training and is legally able to prescribe. For many everyday health concerns that is exactly the right person to see.
What if my problem is more serious?
Your prescriber will tell you honestly if you need to be seen elsewhere, and where to go. Prescriber Near Me is not for emergencies — if you need urgent help, contact NHS 111 or, in an emergency, call 999.
How much does it cost?
Each prescriber sets their own fee, shown clearly on their profile before you book. There is no membership fee and no charge for searching.
Can I see someone in person?
Where a prescriber offers face-to-face appointments, their practice address is shown on their profile and you choose it when booking. Many consult online only, and their profiles say so.

If you need urgent help

Prescriber Near Me is not an emergency service. For urgent medical advice contact NHS 111. In an emergency, call 999.
