How your online repeat prescription works
Step 1
Book a review online or by phone, ideally a week or so before you run low.
Step 2
Complete a short form about how you have been, side effects and any changes to your health.
Step 3
Your review. Prof. El-Missiry checks your history, treatment and answers. It is quick, but it is a real clinical check.
Step 4
Your prescription is issued if it is safe to continue, with clear guidance on taking it.
Step 5
Follow-up if needed. If anything has changed, we book a fuller appointment instead of simply repeating the prescription.
Keeping you safe
Regular full reviews.
Even when things are going well, you will need a full follow-up from time to time. How often depends on your medicine and condition.
Controlled drugs.
Some ADHD and addiction medicines are controlled drugs, with stricter legal rules, closer monitoring, and supply usually limited to 30 days at a time.
Monitoring tests.
Where a medicine needs blood tests or other checks, we only renew once they are up to date.
Your GP kept informed.
With your permission, we let your GP know what you are taking.

Private repeat prescription your questions answered
How much does a private repeat prescription cost?
At BritMed, a repeat prescription review costs £25 for psychiatric medication and £75 for ADHD or addiction medication. The medicine itself is paid for separately at the pharmacy.
Who can use the repeat prescription service?
Patients already under Prof. El-Missiry's care whose medication is working and whose condition is stable. If you are new to us, you start with an initial consultation so we can confirm your diagnosis and plan.
Can I get a private ADHD repeat prescription if my GP will not take over?
Yes, if you are under our care. Some GPs cannot agree to shared care for ADHD medication, which leaves patients needing a private prescriber. Our ADHD repeat prescription service keeps your treatment going, with the regular reviews it requires. New to ADHD care? Start with an ADHD assessment.
Will I always get a prescription?
Only when it is clinically safe and appropriate. If your review shows new side effects, worsening symptoms or overdue safety checks, we arrange a fuller follow-up instead.
How does an online repeat prescription review work?
You complete a short form, then Prof. El-Missiry reviews your history and treatment remotely. The review takes about five minutes, and your prescription is issued if it is safe to continue.
How often will I need a full review?
It depends on your medicine and condition. Some medicines need closer monitoring than others, and Prof. El-Missiry will tell you what suits you.
Can a private psychiatrist prescribe controlled drugs?
Yes. Specialist psychiatrists can prescribe controlled drugs privately, but stricter legal rules apply, including supply usually limited to 30 days at a time and regular monitoring.
How much medicine do I get on each prescription?
It depends on the medicine and your plan. Controlled drugs are usually limited to 30 days. Your prescriber will agree what is right for you.
When should I order my repeat prescription?
Book your review about a week before you run low, to leave time for the review, the prescription and the pharmacy.
Can I get a new medicine through this service?
No. Starting or switching a medicine needs a proper discussion of benefits, risks and alternatives, so it is done in a follow-up consultation.
