You can ask the chemist to print off a copy of your repeat prescription pip just need the list off the back not the actual prescription

Hi Janer

My chemist always puts a copy in my meds delivery 

It's just the back pages you need where you tick which items you want to order

You don’t need the prescription anyway, I can just write out your list of medicine,

I use Patient Access as well @Deppi, it’s so simple to register and use.

For patient access with my GP surgery we have to take some form of ID to them and then they will give you the access code.

My GP required me to take in my passport, after that I received a letter in the post with my linkage keys for Patient Access.

Hi all i noticed the other day that my GP has my wrong address so i called them and they said they would change it but normally i would have to go and show proof of my address. I live in a flat my address is my street name and flat name they just have street name i noticed because post code was different but 3 days after phoning them to change address i got my medication and it was my old address. Does it take them so many days to change it about 3 years ago i had to go for tests once a month for 3 months i never heard nothing back after they did not tell me what was wrong do u think they could have sent my letter to a different address advising on poor diet before i got anemia

@salty1212334 You also have to take in to account how many days after your GP has approved your order for delivery, they might of approved it before you phoned. I advise you to call the chemist today and change your address with them so it doesn’t happen again.

And u can show ID on the nhs website for key you just upload a image of your ID but i dont have any id

On that point, I signed up to Patient Access about 6 years ago. There was no option for this then, I also don’t like the NHS app, I feel PA is easier to use.

Yes and I appreciate what you’re saying I was simply just giving my experience. I know many don’t have photo ID but that is what my surgery required and if you didn’t have it you could use your Birth Certificate along with a letter to your address. Passport just felt easier to me rather than messing looking through my documents.

Hi  i did try patient access and they sent me to NHS website im waiting on gas man to service meter then i will go to my chemist and ask them to change address its only a minute walk i no i could ask my GP all this but it causes me anxiety when i saw my doctor he noticed straight away but i do not get help for it they offered help but all that would be to much. All u are helping me so much thanks an awful lot
