Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.
Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions. Messages may be sent via text or on your repeat prescription slip to remind you when you need a medication review. You can also access your medical record online, e.g. via the NHS app.
Please do not take offense if we require you to make an appointment prior to receiving your medication. We need to make sure that we are keeping you safe and that you are on the most appropriate treatment for you. You may require a blood test, a blood pressure check, or an appointment with the clinical pharmacist.
