From what I can determine, it's a different doctor each time doing the declining. So that this is in full awareness, I have recorded this in my letter to the Practice Manager, flagging up the absence of overview and continuity. In my e-mail to her in the middle of the night, I asked which doctor had declined, what recent menopause training had they undertaken and what was their understanding of the impact of breaking the continuity of medication meant to be continuous. The last time I had medication refused, a receptionist phoned to tell me it had been declined. I asked her who declined it and was told. It was an individual I've never met, has had no involvement in my menopausal journey whatsoever, but who TRAINS gps!!!!! I asked the PM last time if the gp referring me to the NHS specialist could be the point of reference but was told that a meeting had been held with "staff", including this gp, but it was felt my request was not appropriate as "all" gps are "well versed and capable". So, I'll see what today brings, but have ordered a spray from the Oxford Pharmacy meantime and await the consultation approval. It's just dire, isn't it?!
