12 month prescriptions

12 Month Prescriptions
As from 1st February 2026, some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions for some medications for up to 12 months.

Your doctor will work with you to decide if a 12-month prescription is safe and appropriate for you and your health needs. If you feel this may be an option for you then please make a face-to-face appointment with your doctor to discuss. This visit will be a 12-month prescription appointment and if you wish to discuss other things then please make a double appointment.

12-month prescriptions are more likely to be suitable for people with stable, long-term health conditions when the dose of medication is unlikely to change and you do not require regular monitoring with blood tests or blood pressure.

The rules for controlled drugs like strong pain relievers and ADHD medicines are not changing. ADHD medications will continue to be prescribed for 3 months with no more than 1 month dispensed by the pharmacy. 

12 month prescriptions must be picked up from the same pharmacy. Please note if you need to change pharmacy's, lose your medications, or require an extra short supply until you can see your doctor for a face-to- face review, there will be an additional charge for this. 

 Please remember: Your health always comes first.

  • Consultation Fees

    The charges stated below are our usual fees for a 15 minute consultation. These may vary, e.g. for longer consultation times, if consumables are used or other special circumstances. 

    It is expected that if you are unable to attend your appointment that you call to cancel this as soon as possible. Non-attendance may generate a penalty fee-this will be applied at the Doctor's discretion.

  • Please note these fees are effective as of  1st August 2025
