The evidence behind how we do it
At The Wellness a doctor sees you, explains what they find, writes down what happens next, and the same practice is there for anything that follows.
Results that nobody acts on are a known failure in outpatient care. A systematic review of 19 studies found that between 6.8% and 62% of laboratory results were not followed up, and missed results were linked to delayed diagnoses. Callen and colleagues, Failure to follow-up test results for ambulatory patients, a systematic review, Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
Seeing the same doctor matters. A systematic review found 22 studies of continuity of doctor care and mortality, and 18 of them reported lower death rates when patients saw the same doctor more often.

What the guidance says
The General Medical Council says a doctor must make sure any repeat prescription they propose or sign is safe and appropriate. General Medical Council, Good practice in proposing, prescribing, providing and managing medicines and devices, repeat prescribing and prescribing with repeats

Warning signs at any provider
- A repeat issued with no questions about how you are.
- No review date for a long term medicine.
- A fee that does not say whether the medicine is included.
What else people ask
At the providers on this page a private prescription fee runs from £37 at Newson Clinic and Doctorcall to £60 at The London General Practice. At The Wellness a refill is £45, with a doctor's review and next day delivery included. We read each price on the provider's own website on 23 October 2026.
Most private prescription fees cover the doctor’s review and the prescription, and the dispensing pharmacy charges separately for the medicine. Newson Clinic says so on its price list, so ask each provider before you pay.
A doctor prescribes only what is safe and appropriate for you, and some medicines, such as controlled drugs, carry extra checks and fees. The doctor may ask for your records or a consultation before issuing a repeat.
