To ensure safe, high-quality medical care, all prescriptions and referrals require a consultation with your GP.

• Scripts and referrals will not be issued without an appointment, except in limited circumstances at the doctor’s discretion.
• This includes repeat prescriptions and ongoing specialist referrals.
• A consultation allows your GP to review your current health, medications, and ensure the request remains clinically appropriate.
• Requests submitted via reception, phone, or email will be redirected to book an appointment.

Rationale: This policy supports safe prescribing practices and continuity of care in line with professional standards.
