NHS Prescriptions & Exemptions

Some people are entitled to free NHS prescriptions.

You may qualify if you are:

• Pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months
• Receiving certain benefits
• A child under a certain age

👉 If eligible, you can apply for an exemption certificate so you don’t pay for prescriptions.

Pharmacists can also:

• Explain how exemptions work
• Help you understand what you’re entitled to
