Please note that the Practice can no longer accept requests for prescriptions via telephone.

Private Prescriptions

The Practice no longer issues private prescriptions.

All GP Practices have recently received guidance from the British Medical Association (BMA) regarding the issuing of private prescriptions.  The legal advice is clear that in cases of treatment under the primary care contract, GP's may not issue private prescriptions and will be in breach of obligation if they do so as this is classed as defrauding the NHS.
