Hi all

Dr Newson has created a letter along with a clinical negligence solicitor that can be given / sent to your doctors if they won't prescribe hrt etc. It's a little heavy handed but I think if you are having problems you probably need to be.

Here you go:

Yes Bobidy good stuff, thanks for sharing and a definite move in the right direction x

   will any GPs read it though

Thank you for posting the link Bobidy  .  Sad that anyone should need to resort to using it, but helpful to have this hopefully empowering option.

Yes I think it makes a good starting point, and can be modified. I think if sent with a copy of the NICE Guidelines and maybe an emailed personalised response from Dr Currie (which would be cheaper than going to a private clinic) it makes a very good case. After that a formal complaint via the Practice Manager, but it's a real shame if it gets to that point. I know that without going to Dr Newson I would never have been prescribed hrt

One needs to be completely au fait with each link though  in case the GP begins asking questions! 

What if they refuse to read the letter or get arsey?  Is Dr Newson going to take a GP who won't 'listen' to Court?
