Online healthcare made safe and easy

The Independent Pharmacy is an online pharmacy and online doctor service operating in the United Kingdom. We provide confidential health consultations and sell over-the-counter and prescription medications across the UK.

In 2013, pharmacists Andy Boysan and Scott McDougall were worried about the state of online healthcare. They witnessed an online landscape of misleading information and illegitimate products, and knew that something had to change.

What the UK needed was a reliable online platform for essential medication, thorough consultations and expert medical advice. They founded The Independent Pharmacy to allow people access to all those things, and it’s since stood as a standard-bearer for the healthcare industry.

When you order from The Independent Pharmacy, you are cared for by only qualified UK pharmacists and doctors. That means no deceptive products, wrong prescriptions, or unreasonable prices. Just a consistent online pharmacy service you can rely on.

Why should you use The Independent Pharmacy?

We're fully registered and regulated

When you use The Independent Pharmacy, you bypass the many risks of buying from illegitimate vendors. We’re fully registered with all relevant UK regulatory bodies, ensuring that our pharmacy and doctor services are regularly inspected for compliance, so you get all the safety and reliability of buying from your local pharmacy (with the added convenience or ordering online).

We're committed to fighting healthcare stigmas.

It wasn’t long ago that talking about mental health was taboo, and there are still many issues that sufferers are afraid or embarrassed to mention. We tackle every condition with even-handed discretion, doing everything we can to help patients feel comfortable and get the support they need.

We prioritise patient wellbeing over profit.

We only stock safe medicines sourced from the same UK pharmaceutical wholesalers that supply the UK’s high-street chains. You won’t find any dangerous or risky treatments in our range, and we conduct rigorous medical checks before we prescribe anything. And if we don’t stock a treatment that meets your needs, we won’t sell you anything at all.

As well as offering a range of over-the-counter and prescription medicines, we also provide expert advice on a range of common health issues.
