Every time a GP issues your prescription, the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) sends it somewhere — and 'somewhere' is whichever pharmacy is recorded as your nomination. Most people set this once, years ago, often without realising, and never think about it again.
Which is fine — until the queues, the out-of-stocks or the closed lunch hours start to grate. Here's how nomination works and how to change it in two minutes.
With a nomination in place, prescriptions travel electronically from your GP to your chosen pharmacy the moment they're signed — no paper, nothing to collect from the surgery, no risk of a lost script. The pharmacy sees it arrive, prepares it, and (across the Sandwell Pharmacy Group) delivers it free or texts you when it's ready to collect.
You don't need permission from your GP or your current pharmacy, and there's no notice period. Fill in the nomination form on our website — name, date of birth, GP surgery — and we handle the rest. Your very next prescription arrives with us. You can change nomination again at any time; it's your choice, always.
Free delivery across nine local areas. Repeat ordering online in under a minute. A pharmacist who knows your name and your medication history. Pharmacy First treatment for common conditions without a GP appointment. And Saturday opening. Nomination is the two-minute change that unlocks all of it.
