Deliveries are made by our own drivers, not a courier network.

Collecting a prescription is one of those errands that quietly eats a lunch break — the trip, the queue, the “it's not ready yet”. If you're in Sandwell, you can skip all of it: Lyng Pharmacy delivers NHS prescriptions free to your door across West Bromwich, Oldbury, Smethwick, Wednesbury, Tipton, Tividale, Great Barr and Handsworth, using our own drivers rather than a courier network.

Why our own drivers matter

Medicines aren't parcels. Our drivers work for the pharmacy, follow the same confidentiality rules as our counter staff, know the difference between “leave in the porch” and “this one needs a signature”, and bring anything undelivered straight back to the fridge or the shelf it came from — not a depot. If something's wrong with a delivery, the person who packed it is one phone call away.

Setting it up takes one step

Nominate Lyng Pharmacy for your electronic prescriptions — takes a minute online or over the counter — and tell us you'd like delivery. From then on, your GP sends the prescription to us electronically, we dispense it, and a driver brings it out, usually within a day or two of it being ready. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered through our website so the whole loop runs without you setting foot in the pharmacy.

Shop orders ride along too

The same vans deliver our online shop orders — everyday medicines and health essentials — free across the same area on orders over £15 (£2.95 below that). If you're already getting a prescription dropped off, adding the paracetamol and plasters to the same doorstep visit is exactly the point.
