Getting to a pharmacy in Isle of Wight
Off the Hampshire coast, the Isle of Wight has its main towns at Newport in the centre and Ryde, Cowes and Sandown around the shore. The west and south of the island are mostly downland and farmland with small villages and narrow lanes.
Pharmacies are spread across the island's towns, and ferries from Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington make collecting on the mainland a planned trip.
On an island, delivery times and courier charges matter more than on the mainland. Some couriers charge more or take longer for island postcodes, so ask the online pharmacy for the delivery date and price to your address before you order.

Paying for a private prescription in England
NHS prescription charges and exemptions do not apply to a private prescription. You pay the private price in full, whether you collect in person or order online.
Every pharmacy you use, local or online, must be registered. Check the GPhC register before you pay. Our provider checks guide lists what else to look for.
Moving from a local pharmacy in Isle of Wight
Buying your first supply locally does not tie you to that pharmacy. An online or another local prescriber can assess you as an existing patient. Ask what evidence it needs, whether the assessment costs extra and what happens if it cannot prescribe your current treatment.
Photograph the original dispensing label on your pen carton or tablet box and write down the date of your last dose. Read what loyalty to one pharmacy costs and how to ask your local pharmacy for a better price before you decide.
