Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions are available to patients without consultation once the medication has been agreed to by your GP and you have undergone an up-to-date medication review. If you wish to change your medication or dosage, please make an appointment to discuss this with your GP.

Where a consultation may be required

There are certain medications that can only be prescribed monthly and must be authorised by the attending GP. Examples include strong painkillers and sleeping tablets.   

How often should I review my medication with my doctor?

If taking regular medications, you should review these at least every 12 months with your GP/Consultant to ensure you are on the best available medication for your condition. Some questions you may ask are:

  • Is this medication still meeting my health needs?

  • Do I still need to take this/these medications?

  • Is the medicine list on my record accurate?

If you are on a repeat prescription, this may need to be reviewed every 6-12 months (depending on your health condition and the medication involved) to ensure you are on the best available treatment for your condition.

For patients with multi-morbidities (having a number of different ongoing medical conditions and often attending a number of clinics or specialists), you may be asked to attend for medication review at the practice more often.

48 Hours notice is required for all repeat prescriptions.
