The NHS App

Specialist Prescriptions
For patient safety and in line with national guidance, please be advised that first prescriptions requested by NHS or private specialists should be written by the specialist and obtained from the Hospital Pharmacy, or in the case of a private prescription, directly from any Community Pharmacist.
We are unable to rewrite these prescriptions. Furthermore, it is the specialist’s responsibility to provide the first 28 day supply.
If the medication prescribed by your specialist is required on a long term basis, we will be able to issues subsequent prescriptions providing the following:
- The medication is licensed and suitable for prescription by a General Practitioner.
- The medication is listed on the Barnet NHS formulary.
- A letter from your consultant detailing the rational for the medication and dosage schedule has been received by the Practice.
Medication Queries
Please get in touch with the surgery to raise a query about your medication.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
