Are Online Prescriptions Valid?

Yes. Online prescriptions (also known as ePrescriptions or eScripts) are digital versions of paper prescriptions. Online scripts are a safe and convenient alternative to paper scripts, as the same regulations for prescribing and supplying medication exist for both online and paper prescriptions. 

If you need a new script, one that you’ve never requested before, it’s easy to consult with an GMC-registered Partner Doctor about this new prescription.

If you need a refill, consult an GMC-registered Partner Doctor about your request. It’s fast and convenient.

Can I Get A Prescription Online Without Seeing A Doctor?

Yes. It is legal in the UK to speak with a telehealth doctor to get an online script. For most common health issues, you can request a prescription online without seeing a doctor in person.

With Updoc, if you need a prescription, no appointment is necessary. Consult with an GMC-registered Partner Doctor who, if suitable, can provide new and repeat scripts. 

In some cases, your Partner Doctor may advise you to see your local GP in-person. There are some healthcare situations where you might need a physical examination, or have a condition that should be managed ongoing by your regular doctor.

Do not use telehealth consultations in an emergency. If you need urgent care, please call 999.
