Hi all, I'm looking for some help and advice from other expats associated with getting their prescription''s from the uk, how do you get your prescription to your uk doctor to get another round of medicines that you may need, is there an app for this, and/or get them delivered to Spain, many thanks for your any help in advance

I don't bother with prescriptions for my medication, simply go to a Farmacia and buy them over the counter, often cheaper than prescription fees. I do however show the staff in the Farmacia a copy of the details for my prescription to make sure I am getting exactly what I need.

According to your earlier posts you moved to Spain at the end of February. 

If so what makes you think that you remain entitled to prescriptions from UK?

Why is it you presume so much, why can't you just help, the prescription questions are not for me but a friend
