Each consultation is designed to address your unique health requirements. As part of your appointment, our clinical pharmacists will:

• Take the time to listen to your concerns in a private, unhurried setting

• Develop a personalised care plan tailored to your circumstances

What Appointment Options Are Available?

We know that life can get busy, and finding time to visit a clinic isn’t always easy. That’s why we offer flexible appointment options to suit your schedule. At Eltham Pharmacy, you can choose between:

• Face-to-face consultations at our private clinic, in a comfortable and professional environment where you can discuss your health concerns in detail
• Remote consultations via phone or video call, for when it’s more convenient to stay at home or you’re unable to visit us in person

Whether you choose to visit in person or consult remotely, our commitment to providing the highest standard of care remains the same. Our clinical pharmacists will ensure that you feel supported and informed throughout your consultation, offering practical solutions to any health challenges you may be facing.

Can I Get a Prescription Through the Private Clinic?

One of the key benefits of our private clinic is the ability for clinical pharmacists to issue prescriptions when clinically appropriate. Following a comprehensive assessment, your pharmacist will determine whether a prescription is necessary to manage your condition effectively.

At Eltham Pharmacy, all prescriptions are issued at the discretion of the clinical pharmacist. Before deciding on the best course of action, your pharmacist will:

• Carefully review your symptoms and current health concerns
• Consider your medical history and any existing medications
• Assess any other relevant factors specific to your circumstances

This personalised approach helps to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your treatment plan, without unnecessary or inappropriate medications.

Should you require a prescription, it will be issued promptly, allowing you to begin your treatment without delay. We also offer guidance on how to take your medication correctly and will follow up to monitor your progress if needed.

What Should I Expect at My First Appointment?

If you haven’t visited our private clinic before, it can help to know what to expect. Typically, your appointment will include:

• A brief discussion of the reason for your visit and any symptoms you’re experiencing
• A review of your medical history and any medications you currently take
• A clinical assessment appropriate to your concern
• A discussion of your options, including whether a prescription or further referral is appropriate
• Clear guidance on any next steps, including how and when to take any medication prescribed

Consultations are unhurried, so you have the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand your care plan before you leave.

FAQs

What conditions can be discussed at the private clinic?

Our clinical pharmacists can assist with a wide range of concerns, from general health questions and lifestyle advice through to ongoing management of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and other long-term illnesses. If your concern falls outside what can be safely managed in this setting, we’ll always advise you on the right next step, whether that’s your GP or another specialist service.

Is the £20 consultation fee separate from the cost of any prescription?

Yes. The £20 fee covers the consultation itself, including your pharmacist’s time, assessment, and advice. If a prescription is issued, any associated medication costs are separate and will be discussed with you before you proceed.

Do I need a referral from my GP to use the private clinic?

No referral is needed. You can book directly with us for a consultation, whether that’s for general advice, a specific health concern, or ongoing medication support.

How is my information kept confidential?

All consultations, whether in-person or remote, are conducted in a private setting, and your health information is handled in line with standard patient confidentiality and data protection practices. Information is only shared with other healthcare providers, such as your GP, where it’s necessary for your ongoing care.

What technology do I need for a remote consultation?

For a phone consultation, all you need is a working phone number. For a video consultation, you’ll need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a stable internet connection. Full joining instructions will be provided when you book.

Can the clinical pharmacist prescribe controlled medications?

Prescribing decisions are always made at the clinical pharmacist’s discretion, based on a full assessment of your symptoms and history. Certain medications, including some controlled substances, may fall outside what can be prescribed in this setting, in which case you’ll be advised on the appropriate alternative route, such as your GP.

What happens if I need a follow-up after my consultation?

If your pharmacist recommends a follow-up, whether to review how a new medication is working or to reassess your symptoms, this can usually be arranged as a further appointment at the clinic, either in person or remotely, depending on what’s most appropriate for your situation.
