Prescriptions & Repeat Medicines
Medicines reviewed, not just reissued
Long-term medicines are renewed here, but renewal includes a proper look at the list rather than a signature. Every review asks what each medicine is still for, whether it is working, what side effects you are living with, and whether two of them are doing the same job. Medicines are stopped when they are no longer earning their place. If you have been collecting the same prescription for years without anyone reviewing it, that is the appointment to book.
- Every medicine on the list questioned, not just carried forward
- Side effects you have stopped mentioning taken seriously
- Duplicates and interactions between medicines picked up
- A current list you can take to any other clinician

Common questions
- Can I get a repeat without an appointment?
- A short renewal is sometimes possible to bridge a gap, but a long-term medicine should be reviewed rather than repeated indefinitely.
- What should I bring?
- Every box and strip you are currently taking, including supplements and anything bought without a prescription. Those interact too.
- Can you stop a medicine another doctor started?
- It can be discussed, and sometimes yes with a plan for reducing it safely. Some medicines cannot be stopped suddenly, which is itself a reason to review them with someone rather than alone.
