how much of what we believe about UK actually comes from tier 3 threads

PSA Clean Column ×8 Cold Box ×1 Slow Clap ×1

how much of what we believe about UK actually comes from tier 3 threads. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

GP said no in the spring, specialist said yes eighteen months later. Same person, same numbers.

Discharged at goal back to the GP, who would not continue it. Nobody had mentioned that this was how it ends.

The online consultation asked me three questions, none of them about my history. I did not go ahead.

Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.

A private prescription is an independent route: it does not affect NHS list position, and it is not a step in the same pathway.

Referral link removed and the post left up. No links of any kind here, and that rule is not negotiable.

Did the consultation ask about history and medication?

Have you seen the current threshold published by your ICB?

Have you seen the current threshold published by your ICB?

Agreed — and keeping the letters with dates is what makes any later challenge possible.

Agreed. The ICB variation is the thing that makes national advice useless here.

The scheme cap in Ireland was the single most useful thing I learned in a year of reading this board.

Why the monthly pricing tracker works, and the rule that makes it work.

Members post the pharmacy, the product, the month and the price they actually paid — not an advertised offer, not a first-month discount. No links of any kind are permitted, which removes the entire incentive to post anything other than what happened.

The result is that the spread between pharmacies in a given month is visible, and it is consistently larger than people expect. That single table has saved members here more money than every other thread on the board combined, and it survives only because the no-links rule is enforced without exception.

Correction: that threshold is your ICB’s, not a national one. They differ and they change by year.

c/glp1uk rules
  1. No naming online pharmacies that prescribe without a consultation.
  2. Price posts need the date — UK private pricing moves monthly.
  3. NHS pathway questions: say which nation. England, Scotland, Wales and NI differ.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
