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
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that, from memory
the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me, n of 1 obviously
northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current, for what its worth
ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand, for what its worth
member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
ok so a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it, not advice obviously
genuine question is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
prices have moved since
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
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
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
