It is the responsibility of the patient to:

• Take their medications in line with any agreed plan or reduction plan, whether set by the GP or a secondary care colleague. This must not be challenged via reception/admin staff.  If the patient wants to discuss a change, this must be via direct appointment with their GP or their consultant, whoever has set the reduction plan.
• Take responsibility for managing their own medication.
• Take appropriate measures to prevent their prescribed medication being sold or traded to others.
• Provide a urine sample upon request to confirm medication being prescribed is being taken
• Not supply their own prescribed medication to others.
• Treat the practice, its staff and services with respect.

Requests for early prescriptions, or requests for replacement of lost or stolen medication will not be processed via the repeat medication ordering process.  Patients will be required to make a GP appointment so that the reasons can be explored and in order to avoid serious deterioration in health or avoid serious harm.
