Water Meadow Surgery has decided to stop prescribing a number of items on an NHS prescription that can be obtained ‘over the counter’ from a pharmacy.

We will no longer be providing Diazepam or similar drugs for flight anxiety.

Many of our patients now use medications like Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) or Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) for diabetes or weight loss. These treatments work partly by slowing your stomach’s emptying process - this can affect how well other medicines, such as the contraceptive pill or HRT tablets, are absorbed by your body.

If you are currently using Mounjaro alongside a contraceptive pill or oral HRT, please click HERE for more information. If you feel this applies to you or you have any concerns, please reach out to us via SystmConnect so we can support you.

Our practice is set up for the electronic prescription service.

This means that for most patients, we can send your electronic prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy directly, saving you having to come down to the surgery.

To set up your nominated pharmacy, please contact reception.

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. 

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges.

If you are on extensive medications, you can save money with a prescripton prepayment certificate (PPC). Click here for more information.
