Prescription Process
How We Prescribe Safely and Responsibly
At Chic Pharmacy, all prescriptions are issued by qualified pharmacist independent prescribers. Patient safety, professional standards and responsible prescribing guide every decision we make.
We follow a structured consultation and verification process to ensure treatment is clinically appropriate and supplied safely.
Step 1.
Secure Online Consultation
Patients begin by completing a confidential online consultation form. This includes:
• Medical history • Current medications • Relevant health information • Treatment goals •
Providing accurate information is essential to enable safe clinical decision-making.
Step 2.
Identity Verification
To ensure prescriptions are supplied safely and in line with regulatory standards, patients are required to complete a secure identity verification process before treatment can be issued.
This may include photo identification and confirmation of personal details.
Step 3.
Clinical Assessment
Your consultation is reviewed by a pharmacist independent prescriber.
Where further clarification is required, we may:
• Request additional information • Arrange a telephone call • Conduct a secure video consultation •
For certain treatments, including GLP-1 weight management, a video consultation may be required to ensure sufficient information is available to make a safe prescribing decision.
Step 4.
Prescribing Decision
Treatment is only prescribed where it is clinically appropriate and within our professional scope of practice.
If treatment is not suitable, we will provide guidance on next steps where appropriate.
Step 5.
Dispensing & Supply
If approved, your prescription is dispensed through our GPhC-registered pharmacy.
Medication can be:
• Collected in-store • Delivered securely to your UK address •
Local collection allows for additional face-to-face support and guidance where appropriate.
