Pharmacy First prescription charges 

Something else to communicate clearly to patients is that the usual NHS prescription charges apply where they receive a medicine as part of the Pharmacy First service, whether via the urgent medicines supply part of the service or the seven clinical pathways. The Pharmacy First IT system will print off a prescription token and the patient should complete the relevant parts of the reverse of the form to claim exemption from the prescription charge or to indicate they have paid the NHS prescription charge. In addition, they may want to know that the pharmacist will make a clinical record of their consultation which will be sent to their GP so it can be reviewed and added to their medical records.
