The Independent Pharmacy Fully regulated online pharmacy trusted by over 1 million patients. The safe, discreet & easy way to buy your treatments online.

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.

New research reveals the cities putting skin conditions under the most pressure.

Millions in the UK live with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Hard water, pollen, air pollution and heat can all trigger a flare-up, and where someone lives plays a real part in how often that happens.

At the same time, access to specialist help varies widely depending on where you live.

Our latest report combines a UK-wide environment index with five years of NHS data to rank 50 cities in the first UK Skin Flare-Up Index. Read the full report: https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/eczema-dermatitis/guides/nhs-wait-times-dermatology

SPF is a vital step in anyone's skincare routine, and not just in the hotter months.

That's especially true if you have rosacea or acne, as these conditions can worsen with sun exposure.

However, people often mistake suncream for the cause of their flare-ups.

The trick is to find an SPF of 30 or higher that suits your skin type and doesn't cause congestion.

Antibiotics save millions of lives each year.

But their effectiveness is under threat.

Misuse and overuse of antibiotics allow bacteria to adapt and develop resistance, making infections harder to treat and routine treatments riskier.

Together we can help keep antibiotics working.

Remember:
⚠️ Antibiotics don't work on viruses, like colds and flu
🚫 Never save leftover treatment for later
📋 Always follow the instructions from your GP, pharmacist or nurse
