Let's talk repeat prescriptions
There are often misunderstandings and misgivings from patients about requests for repeat prescriptions.
Repeat Prescriptions are ONLY available for stable medical conditions that have been previously prescribed by one of our Doctors/Nurse Practitioners and are always at the Prescribers’ discretion.
- You must have been seen for this condition within the past six months
- You must have been prescribed this medication by one of our Doctors/Nurse Practitioners
- Many conditions are not appropriate for repeat prescriptions and require three monthly review
The Prescriber has a duty of care and follows our clinical policies. They must be satisfied that it is safe and appropriate before prescribing any medication; whether this is new or repeat.
They are responsible for ensuring all monitoring requirements are completed, i.e. blood pressure checks, blood tests as well as reviewing the effects (benefits and harms) of the treatment and any changes in the patient’s condition.
If you are asked to come in for a medication review it will be for one or all of the above reasons. This is never to inconvenience you.
It is always to ensure you are provided with the best care.
