What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
28 day prescribing
NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough still recommends a 28-day interval as a standard treatment length for repeat prescriptions as this provides the best possible balance between patient convenience, good medical practice, and minimal drug wastage. This includes any controlled drugs (including oral and patches).
The possible waste generated by prescriptions that are greater than 28 day intervals is very much against the principal of safeguarding NHS resources. This is in line with national Department of Health guidance and applies to all prescribing within the ICS.
The NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough 28 day policy was introduced to focus on:
- improved patient safety
- reducing medication wastage, particularly from stockpiled medicines or when medicines are stopped/changed
- better co-ordination of treatment
- supporting regular medication review and convenience
- maintaining medication supplies at times of shortage
When collecting your prescription from the pharmacist, confirm the items you’re collecting before you make payment. The practice does not issue refunds for medications.
