[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2443142, member: 527103"] I have a med review every year. I suspect it is a regulatory requirement for all repeat prescriptions. Thankfully, I don't have to attend the surgery. I just have to phone and remind the receptionist to give a GP a nudge to tick a box. A few things have been removed from my script when I haven't ordered them for 12 months like backup insulin pens in case my pump fails. But these were readded and surgery procedures were changed after a polite but firm phone call to the prescribing pharmacist. Unfortunately, I think these procedures are dictated to the surgery from on high and they need to be reminded how to play the game, sometimes. Like most things, arguing with the receptionist is a waste of energy. A friendly call to get them on your side to fight the battle with their colleagues on your behalf is far more productive.
