Does anyone know much about the process of getting medication somewhere else?
i'm going up country hopefully until next summer and I have enough of my inhalers to tide me over but I will run out of birth control at some point.
can I get like a temporary prescription card or something like that? I know it shouldn't be too hard as birth control is free but I was wondering if i'd be able to get it up there or if i'd have to stop taking it for a while :) x

I shouldn't think you'd have a problem at all. Have a chat with your surgery though - they'll give you instructions how to go about it so you don't have to stop med.

You need to register as a temporary patient in the area you are going to.

Ohhh yes I don't know why I didn't think of that :doh:

i'll get all my gp info and nhs number sorted and register temporarily at the surgery up there :)
