Why GP details are important
Accurate GP information supports:
Safe clinical review and prescribing decisions
Proper continuity of care between healthcare providers
Compliance with UK prescribing and regulatory requirements
Because of this, valid GP details must be recorded before prescription treatment can be supplied, including GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro® and Wegovy®.
Can GP details be updated in my MedExpress account?
No. GP details cannot be edited directly in your MedExpress account settings.
This helps ensure:
Clinical accuracy of GP information
Safe record-keeping and prescribing compliance
How GP details can be changed
GP information can still be updated in two safe ways:
1. During a new order
When placing a new MedExpress order, you can:
Enter updated GP details
Provide the correct current GP practice information
The new GP details will then be used for clinical review and prescribing.
2. Through the MedExpress team
If GP details need correcting outside of a new order, the MedExpress team can update the information following appropriate verification and safety checks.
Key takeaway
GP details cannot be changed directly in your MedExpress account.
New GP information can be added during a new order or updated by the MedExpress team.
Accurate GP details are required for safe prescribing and continuity of care.
