12 Month Prescriptions | What you need to know 💊

From 1 February 2026, some people with stable, long-term health conditions (if clinically appropriate) may be eligible for a 12 months’ supply.

Am I eligible?
🟢 Talk to your General Practitioner or Nurse Practitioner.
🟢 Your condition and medication dose must have been stable for at least 6 months.
🟢 You don't need regular monitoring (e.g blood pressure checks or blood tests)
🟢 The medicine you are taking is approved for 12-month prescribing.
🟢You agree to have an annual in-person review to make sure your medicine is still right for you.

How does it work?
🔵You'll still collect three months of medication at a time from your pharmacy of choice, even if you have a 12-month prescription.
🔵It is important to use the same pharmacy for the full 12 months, or you'll need a new prescription.

The final decision about whether a 12-month prescription is safe and appropriate for you sits with your prescriber. In some cases, a 6-month prescription may be a safer option.

We're here to help you understand what these changes mean for you. Talk to your clinician at your next appointment 🩺
