Prescriptions

Private prescriptions from IDOS GPs, with clear guidance on how and when to take your medicine.

Safe, sensible prescribing

At IDOS, prescribing follows a proper clinical assessment. We take a full history, review any current medication and allergies, and discuss benefits, risks and alternatives so you can make an informed choice. Where appropriate, we’ll issue a private prescription and explain how to collect it from a local pharmacy.

Our GPs can prescribe acute or repeat medications following a consultation, and arrange to send them electronically to a remote or local pharmacy for convenience. For convenience we recommend booking 48 hours ahead for repeat requests.

What we can help with: short‑term medicines (for example infections or travel health), repeat medication reviews, bridging prescriptions where clinically appropriate, and advice on stopping or switching medicines.

How private prescriptions work

Your GP will decide if a prescription is clinically appropriate. Private prescriptions are paid for at the pharmacy; prices vary by medication and pharmacy. If monitoring or tests are needed, we’ll arrange these and agree a clear follow‑up plan. Where NHS prescribing is more suitable, we’ll advise you on the best route.
