foibles Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi all, Ok, sorry this is not entirely within the bounds of this chat area, but I'm hoping most here may know the answer to my question. Currently, I take blood pressure meds in Australia. I go to my local gp, which costs me about 100 bucks / 50 quid, and then my prescription is 37 bucks / 18 quid. I have tier 1 visa for the UK. Upon arrival; 1. Can I visit a local gp purely to get a script? What would be a reasonable cost for me to attend such a clinic? I presume NHS does not cover this, and may not cover me. 2. Do I have reciprocal rights, such that I can fill my script at the flat rate of 8 quid when there? Or is it likely to cost more than this? In my conversations with Brits here in oz, they tell me most meds are charged on a flat rate....whereas I don't think this holds true in aus.
