Private Prescriptions

If you choose to see a private specialist, please be aware of the following:

  • If you see a specialist privately, you will usually need to pay for any tests, procedures, and medicines they recommend. These will not normally be provided on the NHS.
  • Even if a medicine is available on the NHS, a recommendation from a private specialist does not automatically mean your GP can prescribe it on the NHS.
  • If you refer yourself to a private provider and pay for your care, you are expected to cover all costs related to that private treatment, including follow-up care linked to it.

If you are unsure about costs or prescriptions, please speak to your GP practice before starting private treatment.
