About: The Northwick Surgery

I understand having a clinical pharmacist to work out cost cutting when it comes to dispensing medications…

But imagine asking a type one insulin dependent diabetic what they need Novorapid for if they’re on an insulin pump… sorry I find it horrendously shocking, what do you think the pump is delivering? Water?!

It’s days later and I’m still absolutely gob smacked by that comment. And to then say to me ‘we’ve not dispensed you any insulin since August’, well that’s wrong because pretty sure I would be long dead if that was the case, thanks!

I’m a nurse myself, and I know computer systems are not on point half the time, but common sense please!!? Please!

Imagine if I had been a confused patient and not been able to answer back, I would have been left without life saving medication. Simply shocking!
