Repeat prescribing is a safety system - not admin.

It’s often treated as transactional work.
In reality, it’s one of the most important patient safety controls in general practice.

When repeat prescribing has clear ownership:
• Risk reduces
• Errors are identified earlier
• GP time is protected
• Patients experience smoother, safer care

When it doesn’t, pressure builds quietly - until January exposes it.

Well-designed repeat prescribing systems don’t add work.
They remove friction, reduce risk, and stabilise workload when demand rises.

Repeat prescribing is one of the biggest hidden drivers of January workload.

It rarely feels urgent.
Until January exposes it.

After the festive period, practices often see:
• Early and overlapping repeat requests
• Incomplete or outdated medication lists
• Medicines queries escalating back to GPs
• Increased risk around high-risk medicines

None of this appears overnight.
It’s the result of repeat systems that weren’t designed for winter pressure.

That’s why pharmacist-led repeat prescribing is one of the fastest ways practices stabilise workload and improve prescribing safety - without adding more pressure to GPs.

Which medicines issue escalates fastest in January?

January has a way of exposing where medicines systems feel the strain first.

After annual leave, winter demand and backlog collide, some pressures escalate faster than others - often before practices have chance to reset.

We’re interested in where you see it surface first 👇

Comment with the emoji that best fits your experience:

🔁 Early repeat prescription requests
💊 Backlog of medication reviews
📤 Medicines queries returning to GPs
⚠️ Gaps in high-risk medicines monitoring

No blame - just insight.
We’ll share what the responses tell us next week.

January doesn’t create pressure. It exposes it.

January doesn’t cause pressure in primary care.
It reveals where systems are already stretched.

After annual leave, winter demand and backlog collide, the same fault lines reopen:
• Repeat prescribing bottlenecks
• Medicines queries bouncing back to GPs
• LTC reviews stacking up
• Governance becoming reactive

None of this appears overnight.
It’s usually the result of workflows, ownership and skill mix that were never fully aligned.

January isn’t about doing more.
It’s about seeing more clearly where structure needs tightening.

🔮 What will matter most in primary care in 2026?

As pressures continue, practices and PCNs will be judged less on capacity - and more on how well their systems work.

In 2026, we expect to see greater focus on:
• Strategic ARRS deployment
• Evolution of Primary Care teams working at scale via Integrated Neighbourhood Teams
• Smarter repeat prescribing workflows
• Long-term condition management at scale
• Workforce stability and retention

The organisations that thrive won’t be the busiest - they’ll be the most structured.

✨ Happy New Year.

A new year brings new challenges - but also new opportunities to rethink how we work, support our teams, and improve patient care.

As 2026 begins, we’re optimistic about what’s possible when primary care is supported by clear governance, strong multidisciplinary teams, and smarter use of clinical pharmacy.

Wishing everyone across primary care a healthy, positive start to the year ahead.

🚀 As 2025 comes to a close…

This year has been full of honest conversations about workload, prescribing safety, governance, and how primary care can work smarter - not harder.

We’re grateful to everyone who shared insight, challenged thinking, and engaged with us throughout the year. Every conversation helps shape better support for practices, PCNs and clinical teams.

As we head into 2026, one thing is clear:
Primary care is evolving - and clinical pharmacy will play an even bigger role in what comes next.

💙 Thank you for being part of the conversation.

📚 The insights that mattered most in 2025.

This year, practices engaged most with content that helped them reduce risk, release GP time, and make sense of growing complexity.

The strongest engagement came from topics around:
• ARRS workforce planning (used strategically, not reactively)
• Integrated Neighbourhood Teams
• Long-term condition management
• Prescribing governance and safety

It’s a reminder that the most valuable conversations aren’t about trends - they’re about what actually works in day-to-day primary care.

💊 Magnesium deficiency is often overlooked - but it can contribute to poor sleep, muscle cramps and neuromuscular tension.

Magnesium plays a key role in:
• Neuromuscular function
• Nervous system regulation
• Sleep quality and muscle relaxation

One form that is commonly better tolerated is magnesium glycinate - magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that supports absorption and reduces gastrointestinal side effects seen with some other formulations.

In this short video, we cover:
• Why magnesium glycinate is often easier to absorb
• How glycine supports uptake at a cellular level
• Its role in supporting sleep quality and muscle function
• Why it is less likely to cause digestive upset

As with all supplements, suitability varies between patients. It’s important to consider existing conditions, medicines and individual risk factors.

🔎 Patients should always be advised to discuss supplementation with their GP or clinical pharmacist before starting any new product.

📊 What primary care told us in 2025 - loud and clear.

Over the past year, we’ve spoken with GP partners, PCN leaders, practice managers and clinical teams across the country. Different settings. Different pressures. But the same themes kept coming up.

Here’s what we heard most often in 2025 👇
• Workload remains the single biggest pressure
• Prescribing complexity continues to rise
• Governance expectations are increasing
• Clinical pharmacy is no longer “nice to have” - it’s essential

As we head into 2026, the message is clear: practices don’t need more noise. They need clearer models, safer systems, and smarter ways to deploy their workforce.

🎄 The holidays shouldn’t come with medication risks.

December brings a unique set of pressures for primary care - early repeat prescription requests, increased antibiotic expectations, staff leave, and more complex patient needs. Without the right oversight, small gaps can quickly turn into safety risks.

This is where clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians make a critical difference.

Across GP practices and PCNs, pharmacy teams help protect patients during the festive period by:
✔️ Managing repeat prescribing safely and consistently
✔️ Supporting appropriate antibiotic use and stewardship
✔️ Monitoring high-risk medicines during illness and winter pressure
✔️ Maintaining accurate medicines lists and workflows
✔️ Reducing last-minute workload that pulls GPs away from clinical care

Good medicines optimisation doesn’t pause for the holidays - and neither does patient safety.

When clinical pharmacy teams are embedded properly, practices stay safe, resilient, and supported right through December.

💙 Because safe prescribing should never take a break.
