Medication Review · Private Psychiatry UK

A psychiatric medication review
that actually means something

An independent, consultant-led review of your current psychiatric medication — not a repeat prescription rubber stamp, but a genuine clinical reassessment of whether what you're taking is still the right approach.

You might be in this situation

When a prescription review isn't really a review

"My medication hasn't been properly reviewed in years. My GP renews it at each appointment but we rarely discuss whether it's still right."

"I'm on multiple psychiatric medications — and I'm not sure any of my doctors have the full picture of everything I'm taking and why."

"I want to understand what each medication is actually doing — and whether there are better options than what I've been on for years."

"I've been discharged from secondary care but I'm still on significant medication. Nobody seems responsible for properly reviewing it."

What a proper medication review involves

What we actually review — and why it matters

A psychiatric medication review at our clinic is not a ten-minute appointment to renew a prescription. It is a thorough clinical reassessment of your entire medication history and current regimen, conducted by a consultant psychiatrist with the time and expertise to give it the attention it deserves.

We look at:

What each medication was originally prescribed for — and whether that indication still applies
Whether each medication is doing what it was prescribed to do — including an honest assessment of whether benefit has been demonstrated
Interactions between medications — particularly important for people on complex regimens
Side effects and their clinical significance — including effects that may not have been attributed to medication
Whether the current regimen is consistent with current evidence and guidelines
What alternatives exist — including whether some medications could be safely reduced or stopped

Polypharmacy in psychiatry is common. Whether it is necessary is a question that deserves a proper, independent answer.

a proper review

One thorough consultation can give you clarity, reduce uncertainty and — where appropriate — open up a path to a simpler, better-tolerated regimen.

Common questions

Questions people often ask

Yes — in fact, a thorough review of the whole regimen is exactly what's needed when multiple medications are involved. We will assess interactions, overlapping effects and whether the combination as a whole makes clinical sense. Any recommendations for change will be made cautiously and sequentially — we never suggest stopping multiple medications simultaneously.

Yes. We can issue private prescriptions for any medication we recommend as part of the review. Where possible, we will also work with your GP to establish shared care arrangements so that prescribing can be managed through the NHS.

Then you will have a clear clinical basis for continuing — with understanding of why, what it is doing, and what to watch for. Many people find that clarity alone is valuable, even when the conclusion is "continue as you are". A well-reasoned recommendation to continue is very different from an unreflective repeat prescription.

Yes — this is a situation we see regularly. People discharged from secondary care often remain on complex regimens with oversight that effectively falls to the GP, who may not feel equipped to review them properly. A private medication review provides the specialist input that is no longer available through the NHS pathway.
