I am happy to provide repeat prescriptions when patients attend for follow-up appointments. When patients run out of medications at other times I request patients obtain repeat prescriptions from their General Practitioner as is the convention. After each consultation I routinely write to patients' General Practitioners to update them including with respect to patients' current heart medications. I encourage patients who do not have a regular General Practitioner to choose one as this is a fundamental and important part of health care.
