About Us
Healthcare, Born From a Real Moment

Newtons Chemist was created to remove unnecessary barriers to essential medication.

Built by experienced healthcare professionals and shaped by real-life experience, our purpose is simple: to make safe, reliable healthcare more accessible - when it’s needed most.

Our Story
It Started With a Question No Parent Should Have to Ask: Why isn’t essential medication easier to access?

Our journey began during one of the most frightening moments a parent can face. When our child experienced a severe asthma attack, we discovered that an inhaler wasn’t accessible without a prescription.

That experience exposed a critical gap in care - and became the catalyst for building a safer, more accessible way for patients to get the treatment they need.

Who We Are
Built by Healthcare Professionals, Not Just an Online Service

Newtons Chemist is led by healthcare professionals with extensive experience across the UK healthcare system, including:

  • NHS and private healthcare
  • GP practices and community pharmacies
  • Clinical prescribing and medication management

This hands-on experience gives us a clear understanding of where traditional healthcare works - and where patients are often left waiting.

Our Mission
Simplifying Access to Medication — Responsibly

Our mission is clear: to streamline the process of obtaining medication while maintaining the highest clinical and regulatory standards.

By offering a safe, regulated alternative to traditional routes, we help reduce pressure on the NHS and ensure patients receive appropriate treatment without unnecessary delays. Our online service is designed to be straightforward, user-friendly, and centred around patient needs.

Distance Selling Pharmacy

As an online pharmacy, we operate as a distance selling service — this means we don’t offer face-to-face appointments for essential services. However, you can access our prescription services from anywhere in the country, no matter where you live. We’re here to help, wherever you are!

We believe healthcare should feel clear, supportive, and human. Our service combines professional expertise with a thoughtful digital approach — delivering care that is efficient, empathetic, and responsive to patient needs.

We’re working towards a future where getting the right medication at the right time is expected – not exceptional.

As Newtons Chemist grows, our commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and quality care remains unwavering.
