- maintenance_mo — coming back after 25 months, is the nhs picture any better 21:06
- gall_bladder_gav — is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers 21:17
just a letter
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
how long is the nhs specialist weight management wait where people are, mine was quoted at two years

the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
coming back after 25 months, is the nhs picture any better

ireland is separate
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers

off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk
