Repeat prescriptions

# Repeat prescriptions FastTrack GP can issue **private repeat prescriptions** for stable, long-term conditions where it is clinically safe to do so. This policy explains when we will, and the limits we apply for safety. ## Eligibility We will consider a repeat prescription where **all** of the following apply: - you have had a recent face-to-face or video consultation with us, or you can provide recent records from your usual GP; - the medicine is for a **stable** long-term condition (the dose hasn't changed recently and the response is well-established); - there is no clinical reason to review you in person before issuing. We will **not** issue a private repeat prescription where: - the medicine is being used to treat an unstable, undiagnosed or rapidly changing condition; - it is for a controlled drug (Schedules 2-3) on first contact (see below); - it falls outside our clinical scope, or the GP feels it would not be safe. ## How to request Email [hello@fasttrackgp.co.uk](mailto:hello@fasttrackgp.co.uk) with your name, date of birth, and the medicine, dose and frequency you're requesting. A GP will review your record. If they need more information they'll come back to you. **We don't take repeat-prescription requests over the phone**, so we have a written record. There is a private prescription fee in addition to the cost of the medicine itself, which you pay at the pharmacy. The current fee is shown on [/pricing/](/pricing/). ## Review cadence We review each long-term medication at least every **6 months**. For some conditions — for example, where blood pressure, blood tests or weight measurements need to be checked — we will require an in-person or video review on a shorter interval. The GP will tell you what the cadence is for your medicine. ## Controlled drugs For controlled drugs in **Schedules 2 and 3** of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001: - We do **not** issue these on first contact. A GP must have an established relationship with you and a clear clinical record before any controlled-drug prescription is considered. - The maximum supply on any private prescription is **28 days**, in line with MHRA and Home Office guidance. - We comply with the requirements of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 on prescription form, signing and record-keeping. ## What we won't prescribe privately In line with **GMC Good Medical Practice (2024)** and our internal clinical governance standards, our GPs will decline to prescribe where: - they consider it clinically inappropriate or unsafe; - the request is for a category of medicine outside our scope (for example, certain psychotropics, or weight-management injections). A declined request is a clinical decision, not a service failure. The consultation fee, where one was paid for the assessment, is non-refundable. ## Working with your usual GP Where you have a regular NHS GP we will, with your consent, send a copy of any private prescription and a brief clinical letter so they have an up-to-date record. This is standard good practice and the GMC encourages it. ## Contact [hello@fasttrackgp.co.uk](mailto:hello@fasttrackgp.co.uk). _Last reviewed: 28 April 2026._
