Non-urgent advice: Prescribing over-the-counter medicines in nurseries and schools
GPs are often asked to prescribe over-the-counter medication to satisfy nurseries and schools. This is a misuse of GP time, and is not necessary.
Non-prescription or over-the-counter medication does not need a GP signature or authorisation in order for a school, nursery or childminder to give it.

We have been experiencing an increased demand for 'urgent' prescriptions. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate this unless the medication is listed on the Emergency Medication List below, which has been approved by the GPs. We must follow this guidance.
