Changes to Repeat Prescriptions

In line with many CCGs nationally,  NHS Milton Keynes CCG is recommending to GP practices that they do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions from community pharmacies.  Work elsewhere has shown a high level of waste particularly when the patient isn’t contacted by the pharmacy before the repeat is requested from the practice. You should hear more about this shortly.
 
We are, of course, asking practices to think very carefully about “exceptions to the rule” so that vulnerable patients continue to receive the support they need.
 
The expected rollout date is 1 September 2019 to give practices plenty of time to communicate with their patients.
