NHS Prescription Delivery in Castleford
Need your NHS prescriptions delivered to Castleford? Nominate us as your pharmacy, and we'll bring them to you free.
Why NHS Prescription Delivery in Castleford Matters
Castleford residents in the WF10 area often collect prescriptions from Wakefield pharmacies because of where your GP is — your doctor is in Wakefield, so your script lands there. Rather than drive back and forth, nominate Kingfisher Pharmacy and we'll deliver to your door free. Most scripts from Castleford GPs reach us within 2–4 hours via EPS (Electronic Prescription Service), which means you're not waiting days; you're waiting hours. Free delivery to Castleford postcodes is standard for us, and it's faster than a round trip to town.
What's Included
- Free local delivery — No minimum order. We deliver to WF10 and surrounding Castleford-area postcodes with no extra cost.
- 2–4 hour turnaround — Once your GP sends your prescription electronically, we're usually ready to dispatch within 2–4 hours.
- Nominated pharmacy setup — Register Kingfisher as your pharmacy with your GP so all future prescriptions arrive with us automatically.
- Repeat prescriptions — Set up a regular delivery schedule if you take ongoing medication. We'll deliver on the same day each week or month.
- Genuine NHS pricing — You pay the NHS prescription charge (currently [STAT NEEDED] if you don't qualify for free), not a "delivery fee" on top.
Pricing & Process
Call us on 01924 291898 or visit 192 Kirkgate, Wakefield WF1 1UE to nominate Kingfisher as your pharmacy. Ask your GP surgery to register us (give them our address and phone number). Once registered, your prescriptions will be sent to us electronically, and we'll ring you with a delivery time — usually the same day or next morning.

Delivery to Castleford is on us.
