If we decide together to prescribe a medication you have two options:
- You can choose to get your prescription issued on the NHS by your GP, and use your HRT Prepay certificate. You will need to arrange for this, with your GP surgery, using the letter sent to you, and them, after your appointment. This letter will be sent within 7 days of your appointment.
- or
- We happy to issue you with a private prescription for your medication. If we prescribe privately you will need to pay the cost of the medications, as this is not covered by your HRT prepay certificate.
Your private prescription will be sent to one of our pharmacy providers after your consultation with us. We do not charge a prescription administration fee for any prescriptions issued during a consultation with you, but there is an administration prescription fee chargeable for all other prescription requests, of £35.
We use CloudRx and SignatureRx, our online prescription services, where, with your consent, which is given on your initial booking form, we share your private prescription. Our private prescriptions can be delivered to your home via CloudRX, or we can send the prescription to you via SignatureRX, so that you can collect it from a local pharmacy, if that is more convenient.
Repeat prescriptions
These are requested using the repeat prescription button on our website. This takes an administration payment and sends you a questionnaire to complete, once we have checked this and are sure it is safe to prescribe we will issue your medication.
We action repeat prescription requests within 7 days, so please do make requests in advance of running out of medication, taking into account holiday periods.
A prescription will be generated and sent to our pharmacy services, above. They will need administration time to issue your medication and send it to you, or send you the prescription to take to your own local pharmacy.
We are afraid that we are not in control of any medication supply shortages, and will do our best to provide an alternative medication, if you are unable to get yours.
We prescribe up to 3 months of medication on each prescription.
Thank you for supporting us to care for you and our other patients by giving us time to issue your medication. If you think you are running out in an emergency then please email us on [email protected]
