Private Medication

Any patient who has been seen at a private hospital must get their prescription from the hospital. It cannot be transferred to an NHS script.

This is for medico-legal reasons. The doctor writing the prescription is responsible for your medical condition and it is their decision having seen and examined you, to issue that prescription. Should an allergic reaction occur or anything go wrong, it is the issuing doctor who is responsible. Therefore please do not embarrass the reception Staff or waste the doctor's time by asking for a private script to be converted.

Once you have been on the medication and reviewed by the private doctor, we will continue to supply the medicine on the NHS.
