Prescriptions

This is something that parents and carers will nearly always have organised in the past however as you approach 18, it will be useful to understand the process of ordering your medications from the GP, collecting from the pharmacy and making sure that you order all your supplies (eg pump cannula and sensors) in good time for when you need them. You will need to apply for an exemption certificate.

We will talk to you about how to do this and are happy to provide any information but it may be worth talking to the adults in your house about the usual process, so they can help you to learn what works best and how to do this for yourself.
