Why we share information with your GP
When you receive treatment through Bolt Pharmacy, we are required by UK regulations to inform your registered GP about your care. This helps ensure your healthcare records are accurate and that all professionals involved in your care are aligned.
What information do we share?
We only share information that is necessary and relevant to your care, including:
The medication you have been prescribed
Your dosage
The date you were clinically assessed
Confirmation that treatment was supplied following an online consultation
This information allows your GP to remain aware of any private treatment you are receiving alongside NHS care.
Why does my GP need to know?
Sharing this information helps to:
Keep your medical records up to date
Support continuity of care
Reduce the risk of medication interactions
Ensure your GP has full visibility of treatments that may affect your health
This is considered best practice and aligns with NHS, GPhC, and UK clinical guidelines.
How was my treatment assessed?
Before any medication is supplied, our clinicians carry out a structured online consultation to assess your suitability for treatment. This review takes into account:
Your medical history
Current and past medications
Allergies
Information you provide during your consultation
Only licensed medicines are prescribed, and all prescribing follows official SPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) guidance.
What if my GP has concerns?
Your GP is welcome to contact us if they have any important information or concerns about your suitability for treatment. This helps us ensure your care remains safe and appropriate.
