The Practice will no longer prescribe sedating medication, for example Diazepam, for fear of flying. 

This is in line with current guidance from the Civil Avaitaiton Authroity and British Medical Association due to the significant safety risks associated when taking these medications for travel, including an impaired emergency response.  

We would recomend structured fear of flying courses which are offered by most airlines.

To help with sleep we would encourage general sleep hygiene and behavioural strategies such as eye mask, ear plugs, comforatble clothing, to stay hydrated and to avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Many airlines also offer a Fear of Flying course.

Do not use the form for anything other than requesting prescriptions for medication that you have been prescribed previously by a GP.

Prescription requests can no longer be taken by telephone.

Please note that your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy you are coded for.  If you need to change this please contact the practice to speak to a member of the reception team or contact the pharmacy and sign a new agreement with the pharmacy of your choice.
