[Question] how do you actually verify pharmacy

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: how do you actually verify pharmacy.

Why the monthly pricing tracker works, and the rule that makes it work.

Members post the pharmacy, the product, the month and the price they actually paid — not an advertised offer, not a first-month discount. No links of any kind are permitted, which removes the entire incentive to post anything other than what happened.

The result is that the spread between pharmacies in a given month is visible, and it is consistently larger than people expect. That single table has saved members here more money than every other thread on the board combined, and it survives only because the no-links rule is enforced without exception.

A private prescription is an independent route: it does not affect NHS list position, and it is not a step in the same pathway.

In England, specialist weight management services are commissioned locally, so eligibility criteria and waiting times differ by ICB. There is no single national threshold to quote.

Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.
