Hospital prescriptions

You may have been given a prescription for medication at the outpatient clinic. The doctor will explain where to take it, depending on the type of prescription it is.

• A hospital outpatient prescription can only be dispensed at St George’s Healthcare at either the St James Wing or Lanesborough Wing outpatient pharmacy (whichever is nearest to your clinic)
• An outpatient medication plan will need to be taken to your GP surgery where your GP will issue an FP10 prescription. You can take an FP10 prescription to your community pharmacy.

If you have any questions about your medicines, ask a member of the renal team or please call the pharmacy patient helpline 020 8725 1033. The line is open Monday to Friday 09.30am to 17.00pm.
