When collecting my prescription, I was always aware of the fact that I was ticking the box that said I was under 18.
When I hit this age and went to collect my first prescription, I told my pharmacist that I couldn't tick this box anymore so she told me just to tick box E- I have a valid medical exemption certificate. I did so, but it didn't sit right with me, but just assumed this certificate was automatically it on my file due to my diabetes.
I recently found out that I was right and I do actually have to apply for and obtain this certificate.
My question is, who do I have to speak to to apply for it? My GP? My diabetic clinic?
If it's the GP, do I have to book an appointment to get the form to fill in? Or can I just drop by and ask for the form?
I'm at at total loss as I was never told, can someone tell me what I should do?
