12 Month Prescriptions

Written By Kristie Olufson

From the 1st of February 2026 clinicians will be able to offer 12 month prescriptions for some medications if it is clinically safe to do so. You may be eligible for a 12 month prescription if:

  • Your condition and medication dose have been stable for at least 6 months

  • You don’t need regular monitoring (like blood tests or blood pressure checks)

  • The medicine is approved for 12 month prescribing

  • You agree to an in-person review to check the medicine is still suitable

The decision to extend your prescription length or not, belongs with the prescribing clinician based on the above factors.
