Using our service is simple and designed to put you at ease. Here’s how it works
Schedule an appointment at your preferred branch (Southall or Hillingdon) either by booking online through our website or by giving us a call. Same-day appointments are usually available. We also accept walk-in requests if our prescribing pharmacist is free, so feel free to pop in and ask – we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
You’ll meet with our pharmacist prescriber in a private consulting room. They will discuss your symptoms and medical history and may ask relevant questions to understand your health concern fully. This one-on-one consultation is thorough but friendly – our pharmacist will listen to your needs and explain everything in clear, simple terms.
After evaluation, the pharmacist will determine the best course of action. If you require medication, they will write a private prescription for an appropriate treatment. (For minor ailments or common conditions, this could include antibiotics, creams, inhalers, etc., depending on what’s needed.) They’ll explain how to use the medication and any important advice to ensure you feel confident about your treatment plan.
Once issued, your prescription can be dispensed immediately at our pharmacy counter. In just a few minutes, you’ll receive the prescribed medication before you leave. You won’t need to visit another pharmacy – we handle it all right here. Of course, if for any reason you prefer to take the prescription elsewhere, we can provide the paper prescription as well.
Our service doesn’t end when you walk out the door. We encourage you to reach out with any follow-up questions or concerns about your medication or condition. If needed, we can arrange a follow-up consultation to monitor your progress or adjust treatment. Your health is our ongoing priority, and we’re here to support you until you’re feeling better.

Private Prescription Service at Puri Pharmacy Southall
Our Southall branch offers the Private Prescribing Pharmacist service to patients in Southall and surrounding areas. Located at 39 Western Road, Southall (UB2 5HE), this branch is ideally situated in the heart of the community. We have a dedicated consultation room in Southall where you’ll meet with our pharmacist prescriber in private. The Southall team is friendly and multilingual, so we can accommodate patients from our diverse community with culturally sensitive care.
Availability: The Southall pharmacy is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. This extended schedule means you can even book an evening appointment on weekdays or a Saturday morning slot, whichever suits you best. If you have a busy workweek, our Southall late opening hours make it convenient to see the pharmacist after work. We strive to offer same-day appointments here – often you can call in the morning and be seen that afternoon.
Services at Southall: Whether you have a minor illness (like a chesty cough, throat infection, UTI, skin rash, etc.), need an urgent refill of regular medication, or require health advice and treatment for a non-emergency issue, our Southall pharmacist can help. Because Southall is our original family pharmacy (established over 40 years ago), you’ll find a warm, community atmosphere. We combine that personal touch with clinical excellence to ensure you get the care you need quickly.
If you’re in or around Southall and need a private prescription, simply book online or call our Southall branch on 0208 574 6848 to schedule your consultation.

Private Prescription Service at Puri Pharmacy Hillingdon
Our Hillingdon branch also provides the Private Prescribing Pharmacist service, serving patients in Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Ickenham, and the wider area. You’ll find us at 165 Ryefield Avenue, Hillingdon (UB10 9DA) – a convenient location for those in north-west London. Just like Southall, our Hillingdon pharmacy has a private consultation area where you can speak one-on-one with our prescribing pharmacist away from the public counter.
Availability: Puri Pharmacy Hillingdon is open Monday to Friday (9am to 6pm). We operate throughout the workweek, so you can often get a same-day appointment during these days. If you live or work in the Hillingdon/Uxbridge area, this means no trekking into central London or waiting for a GP – you have a local professional prescriber ready to help nearby. Simply call in the morning and we’ll aim to see you that day. (Please note: The Hillingdon branch is closed on weekends for now, but our Southall branch is open on Saturdays if you require a weekend consultation.)
Services at Hillingdon: Our Hillingdon pharmacist prescriber can assist with many health issues that don’t require a full GP visit. For example, we can assess and treat conditions like uncomplicated infections (ear, nose and throat infections, urinary infections in women, skin infections), provide medications for allergies, skin conditions, gastrointestinal issues, and much more – all privately and promptly. If you’ve run out of a regular medication and can’t get a prescription in time, we may be able to help with a bridging supply (where safe and appropriate) via a private prescription. Patients in Hillingdon appreciate having this accessible service in their neighborhood, saving them time and giving peace of mind.
To book an appointment at our Hillingdon pharmacy, you can use our online booking system or call us directly at 01895 272571. Our staff will schedule you for the next available slot and guide you on what to bring (for example, any relevant medical information or a list of current medications).

We’re dedicated to being accessible and responsive for our local patients.
