Private Prescriptions

If you use a private healthcare provider and you are issued with a prescription, please note this will be a chargeable private prescription and will not be able to be converted into an NHS prescription. Private prescription charges are based on the cost of the medication required, rather than a standard charge.

🌟 Carers Rights Day 2025 🌟

Today we’ll be standing with carers across the UK to highlight the rights of the 5.8 million unpaid carers who support loved ones every day. This year’s theme is:

👉 “Know your rights, use your rights.”

Every day, around 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or friend. Many don’t see themselves as carers and may be unaware of the rights, support, and benefits available to them.

At Lancashire Carers Service, we believe no carer should miss out on support designed to reduce the pressures of caring. Whether you:
💙 Care 24/7 or balance caring with work and family life
💙 Are new to caring or have been providing care for many years
💙 Live in any part of Lancashire

…you deserve to know your rights and feel confident in using them.

✨ This Carers Rights Day, help us spread the word. Together, we can ensure carers across Lancashire are recognised, supported, and empowered.

🧠🌀 Feeling overwhelmed? Stress isn’t just “part of life” — it can affect your body, mind and behaviour in real ways.

Here’s what you might experience:
✔️ Physical: headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, chest‑racing heartbeats
✔️ Mental: trouble concentrating, making decisions, constant worrying
✔️ Behavioural: irritability, sleep too much or too little, eating changes, pulling away from others

When stress becomes long‑term, it can lead to burnout — extreme exhaustion, cynicism, reduced performance.

You don’t have to cope with it alone.
