I was living overseas for 8 years and in 2018 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in my mid-50s. I returned to the UK last year and returned to the Plympton medical centre in Plymouth, although I then spent 3 months in another area looking after my aging mother with dementia.
My medication list from overseas was given to the Plymouth practice and was set up quite easily. I was then transferred to a pharmacy closer to me. The whole process was managed quite easily and although there were a few problems with the prescription, this was sorted out through telephone calls with call backs never a problem.
I haven’t needed to see a doctor as yet but I am happy with the transition and particularly that the people I have dealt with have always been willing and able to help
