Repeat Prescriptions
Reducing prescribing of over-the-counter medicines
NHS Bradford district and Craven CCGs have agreed to adopt NHS England’s guidance on reducing prescribing of over the counter medicines.
This means that if you have a minor condition that can be easily treated with medicines that are available to buy, your GP may ask you to buy the medicine rather than issue a prescription.
There are 35 minor, short-term health conditions, for further information click here.

- you are ordering early, or

A message will then be passed to the practice pharmacist to deal with your request
