Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat Prescription Faster

A “repeat prescription” service is available to enrolled patients whose medical conditions are stable and unlikely to cause complications or side effects. This service is at the discretion of your Doctor and is usually discussed with your doctor at a previous appointment.

From 1 February 2026, the maximum amount of medicine that can be supplied on one prescription is changed from 3 months to 12 months.

It’s important to remember that even if you get a 12-month prescription, this doesn’t mean you won’t need to see your GP. Having regular check-ups are still important to make sure your treatment is safe and working well.

If you have a long-term health condition, and your condition is stable, meaning your symptoms are under control and your treatment is working well, your healthcare provider may decide it’s safe and appropriate for your medicine to be prescribed for 6 -12 months.

If your condition isn’t stable and your treatment may need to change, you won’t get a 12-month prescription as your GP needs to review and adjust your treatment safely.

Ultimately, your GP will make the final decision about whether a 12 month prescription is appropriate for you.

These prescriptions will not be issued for 12 months

• controlled medicines (eg opioids, stimulants) 
• medicines taken “only as needed”  
• medicines that need monitoring within 12 months (eg blood tests, blood pressure) 
• if your condition or medicine dose has changed in the past 6 months 

Your Doctor may wish to see you rather than issuing a prescription for conditions requiring close monitoring, or if your medication was changed at the last visit. We will contact you by phone if an appointment with your Doctor is needed or if we require any further information to issue the prescription.
