What's the link for prescribing data?

I've lost where I saved it.

I'd like to search my surgery for whether they prescribe T3 and I cant find it.

Would someone kindly share the link please?

Thank you

Fab! Thank you. 😁

Any good, do they already supply others?

GPs cant prescribe t3 though, only a specialist can.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to PinkSkittles]

t3 is started initially by endocrinologist, but once well and stable, ongoing care and cost of prescribing is passed to GP

Officially with annual review back with endo

[PinkSkittles in reply to SlowDragon]

Ah okay so some gps cant prescribe even once the endo has authorised it, is that what you mean?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to PinkSkittles]

Guidelines say

All GP’s should be able to prescribe T3 if endocrinologist writes to request they do so

In reality some health authorities and GP’s try to refuse to

[PinkSkittles in reply to SlowDragon]

So whats the relevance of checking that link to see which surgeries prescribe?

[humanbean in reply to PinkSkittles]

If your own surgery prescribes T3 for other patients it gives you ammunition to say that you should be prescribed it too (once an endo has decided you need it).

[PinkSkittles in reply to humanbean]

Ahh

Can also be handy if you find that another local surgery prescribes when yours doesn't
