i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that

driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it

did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35

is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement

a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it, thats one data point

the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention

ireland is separate

PS

right so nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england

quick one off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence

i paid €185 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them

GB

i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out

border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door

what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word
