three years of NHS threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
three years of NHS threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. I have gone back and forth on this for months. GP said no in the spring, specialist said yes eighteen months later. Same person, same numbers. Concentrations can differ between products and between pharmacies. Switching mid-titration means…
private and NHS pathways are not a ladder, they are separate routes
Correction: that threshold is your ICB’s, not a national one. They differ and they change by year.
Have you seen the current threshold published by your ICB?
Same. My ICB threshold was different from the neighbouring one and nobody could tell me why.
Same.
Adding the practical bit — ask what happens at discharge before you start, not after.

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.
That is Scotland’s arrangement and the post is asking about England.
Agreed. The ICB variation is the thing that makes national advice useless here.
Is this a discharge back to the GP, or a discontinuation?
private prescription pricing moves monthly and the pharmacy is most of the spread
The scheme cap in Ireland was the single most useful thing I learned in a year of reading this board.
