Do the Boots at the airport provide a dispensing service?

If there is a pharmacist on duty you can check if they provide the urgent repeat medication service (URMS) - there is just a quick form to fill out. Or you can ring 111 and ask them to do an electronic prescription to that particular Boots. Or you can speak to your doctor's out of hours service (sometimes just 111 anyhow) and ask them to do the electronic transfer.
There are options.

You will have to pay (�9) if you normally do, or if you have no proof of exemption.

You would also need to remember to ask your normal pharmacist to make sure that you are still set up to them when you get home. (many times people have had prescriptions filled electronically on holiday and a couple of months down the line find their prescriptions are available in Bognor etc...)
