Why a review is needed
Medicines can change how they affect you over time, and new medicines, conditions or test results can change what is safest.
A regular review helps keep your treatment effective and safe.
Repeat prescriptions, reviewed and renewed
Keep your regular medicines going with a quick consultation to review how they are working, check for side effects and renew your scripts, sent straight to your phone as an electronic prescription.

Why a consult matters
Medicine review
Each time a script is renewed, your GP checks the medicine is still right for you, works well, and is not causing side effects or interactions.
It is also a chance to update blood tests and check your blood pressure or other measures.
