the NHS thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
the NHS thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Supply notices from the regulator describe expected availability at a national level. They do not predict what any individual pharmacy has on the shelf next week. A private…
Two years and four months on a tier 3 list. Referral date and every letter kept, which turned out to matter when the service reorganised.
Concentrations can differ between products and between pharmacies. Switching mid-titration means redoing the arithmetic rather than carrying the old unit count across.
private and NHS pathways are not a ladder, they are separate routes
Four pharmacies, four prices, same product, same month. The spread was larger than I expected and none of them were the headline offer.
I would not read a supply notice as a shortage in your pharmacy tomorrow. They are not the same thing.
the Irish scheme cap is the single most useful fact in this board
Discharge from a specialist service at goal is a normal end point of that pathway. Whether prescribing continues in primary care afterwards is a local decision and is worth asking about at the start rather than at the end.
