If I’ve not registered with a GP, how do I get an emergency prescription?

If you’ve not yet registered with a GP and are needing a prescription urgently, you may find going to an Urgent Care Centre (UCC) or a private doctor the most straightforward methods.

Otherwise registering with the NHS online as soon as you can so you can obtain your NHS number (an identifying code to track your healthcare in the UK) will streamline the process of you getting a prescription.

For you to see a GP and get a prescription, you will need your NHS number, which is typically handed out once you’ve registered with a GP surgery.
