I'm hoping to undertake extended/continuous cruising, but need to see a GP regularly (monthly) to get a prescription. Does anyone have any experience of trying to do this and how co-operative medics are? Particularly when you're flitting about the country not seeing the same one twice.

 

Thanks

Hi Laurie

 

Why every month, you can get a prescription for up to 3 months, unless there is a need for tests etc..

Have a chat with your GP, I am sure he will be pleased to help.

Brother-in-law took 3 months abroad with him and I have a regular prescription for 3 months.

 

And to the forum

Hi Laurie.

 

And welcome again, yes I am sure your present doctor will be able to sort that out for you. In part with a 'To whom it may concern letter'. Patients records are on a central computer these days, or should be.

 

Hope you get sorted out.

Thanks for replies - the jigsaw takes form! L

Bottle is right

 

Your are allowed 3 months supply of pres drugs at a time

in one go but a GPs wont generally offer this info (cost!!)

 

Saves money to you thou
