Hello lovely people.
Been getting Duraphat on GP prescription for maybe 3 years now. BoT Oropharynx, concurrent chemo radiation full gamut. Subsequent minimal saliva. You know the score.
Today however my repeat request was refused. Some reference to it being a recent health board directive.
Anyone relate? It is still NICE approved for my circumstances I believe. My teeth are rapidly disintegrating.
Have a look at THIS THREAD
In there you will find a post from me detailing the situation in one particular trust which SHOULD but DOESN'T apply everywhere but nevertheless you could try showing that to your GP.
Contact your CNS or bring it up at your next review and ask the hospital writes to your GP
If you have an NHS dentist they might prescribe but sometimes they refer you back to the GP. A private dentist certainly will oblige but it will cost you. It's an appalling situation.
One tube lasts me well over a month so I am building up a stock for when the same thing happens to me. Shocking!

Can a private dentist give me an NHS prescription.
Not a NHS one. You will have to pay for it.
