So I collected my SI equipment yesterday via the surgery. I got needles, syringes, wipes, needles for the ampoules. Quite a lot in fact. No B12 ampoules though. I wasnt sure how this worked. So I contacted my surgery to ask. They've issued the B12 ampoule to my pharmacy for collection and I can now order one every 2 months.
I've also ordered some spares from Germany in case I decide to increase the frequency of my jabs or if I make a hash of things and need spares.

Hi, I have a similar set up with my GP. The surgery give me the needles and syringes, I just ring and ask. The sharps box was on a prescription but I purchased my own as I pay for my prescriptions and it works out cheaper. The ampoules are prescribed by the GP and I get a box of 5 at a time.We agreed that I self administer every 4-6 weeks but I actually do them every 3 weeks. Fortunately my GP is happy with this and just keeps documenting that I will aim in the future to spread them out further.
