Our Prescription Dispensing Services

General Health Screening

We accept all NHS prescriptions, including paper prescriptions and those sent electronically through the NHS Electronic Prescription Service. If your GP has issued a prescription, we can fill it. Most items are ready the same day.

The standard NHS prescription dispensing fee applies per item. If you hold a valid exemption, such as a medical exemption certificate, pre-payment certificate, or qualifying benefit, you will not be charged.

Private Prescription Dispensing

Not all medications come through NHS channels. We dispense private prescriptions issued by GPs, consultants, and registered specialists. Pricing is set per item and varies by medication.

Private prescriptions are a common option for medications not available on the NHS, or when a quicker supply is needed. Bring your prescription in and we will advise on cost before dispensing.

Vet Prescription Dispensing

Vet prescriptions in Peterborough can be filled at Landsdowne Pharmacy. If your vet has issued a written prescription, you are free to have it dispensed at a pharmacy of your choice.

This is often more cost-effective than buying directly through your vet practice. We stock a range of common veterinary medications and can order others quickly.

How It Works

How the Prescription Dispensing Service Works

[Step 01]

Send or Bring Your Prescription

Drop your prescription in at the counter, post it through our letterbox, or have it sent electronically by your GP. We accept all formats.

[Step 02]

Medication Prepared Quickly

Our dispensing team checks and prepares your medication with care. Most prescriptions are ready within a short wait, or within the same day for less common items.

[Step 03]

Collect or Receive

Collect in person at your convenience. If you have mobility difficulties or find it hard to get to the pharmacy, speak to our team about collection options.

Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

The NHS Electronic Prescription Service lets your GP send prescriptions directly to a pharmacy of your choice. No paper, no queuing at the surgery, no risk of losing the form. Once nominated, your prescriptions arrive at Landsdowne Pharmacy automatically, ready for you to collect when needed.

What Is EPS?

EPS is the NHS system that transfers prescriptions electronically from your GP practice to your chosen pharmacy. It removes the need for paper prescriptions in most cases.

Prescriptions are sent directly from your GP to us. You do not need to collect anything from the surgery first.

Benefits of EPS

Faster prescription processing

Your prescription is ready sooner because we receive it before you even leave the GP practice.

Fewer paper prescriptions

Less chance of losing a prescription or waiting for it to be signed and printed.

Convenient repeat prescription management

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered and sent without you needing to visit the surgery each time.

How to Nominate Our Pharmacy

Tell your GP receptionist you want to nominate Landsdowne Pharmacy in Peterborough. They will update your record on the NHS system. Alternatively, come in and we can help you set this up, either in person or by guiding you through your NHS app.

Repeat Prescription Management

Managing long-term medication takes consistency. Landsdowne Pharmacy makes repeat prescriptions easier to handle, so you never run out of medication you depend on.

Easy Repeat Ordering

Medication Reviews and Advice

Our pharmacists are trained to support you beyond simply handing over your medication. If you have questions about a new prescription, we can explain what it does and how to take it correctly.

Side effects are common with many medications and often manageable. Our team can advise on what to expect and when to speak to your GP. If you are struggling to take your medication regularly, we can offer practical advice on building a routine that works for you.

If your condition changes or your dose is adjusted, let us know. We will update your records and check for any interactions.
