The only thing I am waiting for at the moment before I make my way to Spain are medical records. Does anyone have any ideas, don't want to be stuck in the UK any longer than necessary.

When we moved some time ago we got copies of the records, and these only took a few days at our medical centre. In retrospect, we should have just asked for an extract from file, as that would have been all we needed.

We've only ever used them for our own purposes, as there doesn't seem to be a way to put the data on the local system.

Could anyone give advice do I need to bring my UK doctors records with me to Orba to set myself up at the doctors. I am waiting for them in the UK and its taking a long time. Would really appreciate some advice.

No, you don't need them. If you've got a standing prescription, that's all you need so your doctor can prescribe the same or an equivalent.
