Start in the right place

Send evidence of your regular treatment

Show the medicine, dose, reason for treatment and who originally prescribed it. Once suitable evidence is held in your clinic record, you do not need to resend the same documents every month unless treatment or circumstances change.

01
New problem, changed symptoms or starting treatment

Book the full doctor consultation. The clinician assesses the problem, discusses options and agrees any next steps.

02
Stable medicine, unchanged dose and supporting evidence

Use the repeat review. If another provider started treatment, send a named prescription, report or dispensing record.

Questions before booking

Common questions

What makes treatment “established”?+

The diagnosis, medicine, dose and directions are documented and have not materially changed.

Can a repeat review be used to start a medicine?+

No. Starting treatment or requesting a dose change needs a doctor consultation.

Can another provider’s prescription be used as evidence?+

Yes, if it reliably identifies you, the medicine, dose and prescribing plan.

Are blood tests included?+

No. When tests are needed, the doctor explains how to arrange them locally.

Do I need to resend the same documents each month?+

Usually not when clear evidence is already held in your clinic record and treatment remains unchanged.

What if the medicine or dose has changed?+

Book a doctor consultation so the change, symptoms and monitoring requirements can be assessed.

Clinical safety and service limits+

Do not use a routine repeat service when symptoms have changed, monitoring is overdue or interruption may create an immediate medical risk.

Call 112 for an emergency. Online care does not replace necessary examination, testing, imaging, specialist care or hospital treatment.
