[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2391226, member: 503751"] My understanding has always been that any hospital can dispense an emergency script of you need it. I would contact your diabetes centre at the hospital (assuming this is where the advice to change basal came from) and let them know about the problem if you haven't already. If you run out of basal at the fault of your GP then at least your hospital clinic team have the record of the issue and they can be prepared to dispense the basal for you. Really push this issue because it might be that the pharmacy doesn't have stocks of your required insulin in, and needs to order them. If you're on your last pen/cartridge then this is urgent. Make sure they are aware it cannot wait. My clinic once faxed an emergency script to a pharmacy when I was on holiday in the UK and my back up bolus became damaged (so unusable) but my GP surgery was closed to deal with the issue. [/QUOTE]
