A new era for healthcare in York

For years, people in York have relied on traditional high-street chemists for their prescriptions. But as healthcare moves online, patients now expect the same convenience and reliability they experience with everyday deliveries. That’s where MedHut, York’s first online pharmacy, is leading the way - combining modern technology with trusted, local pharmacy care.

Based in Fulford, MedHut makes it simple for York residents to access both NHS and private pharmacy services from the comfort of their homes - with free local delivery and expert pharmacist support at every step.

What makes MedHut different

MedHut is a distance-selling pharmacy (DSP), authorised by the NHS and regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).Unlike traditional pharmacies, a DSP is designed from the ground up to support patients remotely and efficiently, ensuring medicines are dispensed, checked, and delivered safely across the UK.

While MedHut serves patients nationwide, its roots remain firmly in York. Local deliveries are handled by in-house drivers - meaning many prescriptions reach patients the very same day they’re received from the GP.

It’s pharmacy care that’s convenient, personal, and powered by York’s local community.

Making prescriptions simpler and faster

MedHut’s goal is to take the stress out of managing medicines.Patients can:

Every prescription is processed using secure, modern dispensing systems (Titan PMR), and checked by qualified pharmacists before dispatch. No waiting in queues, no chasing repeats — just simple, reliable service.

NHS and private services under one roof

MedHut is more than just a delivery pharmacy. It’s a healthcare hub that supports both NHS and private needs, including:

NHS services:

Each service is delivered with the same professional care and clinical oversight you’d expect from your local pharmacy - just with greater convenience.

Why it matters for York

York’s population is diverse, from busy professionals to older adults and rural residents, but access to timely pharmacy services hasn’t always been easy.By introducing a fully digital model with local delivery, MedHut bridges the gap between traditional and modern care.

MedHut is also working with local organisations to reduce medicine-related stress, support care homes, and streamline communication with GP surgeries - improving safety and continuity of care for everyone involved. 

Safety, trust, and regulation
