[NHS] two years and four months on a tier 3 waiting list. timeline inside.
two years and four months on a tier 3 waiting list. timeline inside. I have gone back and forth on this for months.
The two routes, described separately, because mixing them is where most of the confusion here starts.
The NHS route in England runs through specialist weight management services commissioned by your ICB. Criteria, waiting times and what happens at discharge are all local decisions, which is why a confident answer from somebody in a different area may be wrong for you.
The private route is an independent transaction: a consultation, a prescription and a pharmacy price. It does not affect your position on any NHS list and it is not a shortcut through one. Both are legitimate; they are simply not the same pathway and they do not connect.
Read the MHRA notice rather than the news coverage and the actual scope was much narrower than the panic threads suggested.
Switched pharmacies mid-titration and had to restart the ladder because the concentrations did not line up.
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
A private prescription is an independent route: it does not affect NHS list position, and it is not a step in the same pathway.
discharge at goal back to the GP is where a lot of people fall over
Added a nation tag — the answers to this question differ across the four.
Is this a discharge back to the GP, or a discontinuation?
That is the first-month offer price, not the ongoing monthly cost. The tracker records the second one.
the Irish scheme cap is the single most useful fact in this board
The online consultation asked me three questions, none of them about my history. I did not go ahead.
Which nation, and which ICB if you are in England?
Correction: that threshold is your ICB’s, not a national one. They differ and they change by year.
tier 3 waiting lists are measured in years, not months
ask the pharmacy for the price list, not the headline offer
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are four different pathways
