To nominate Inspire Pharmacy as your dfeault pharmacy, you can either complete our simple online form to sign-up, or you can speak to our team directly. All we need is the full name, date of birth and NHS number of the person whose medication we’d be taking care of.

If you’re a carer, you can also complete this process on behalf of the person you’re caring for.

2. Transfer to Inspire Pharmacy

We will also contact your GP to liaise with and update them on the change and to double-check with the surgery when any monthly medications are due.
