The one clinic that does not require this is CB1 medical and they retrieve it themselves direct from the nhs removing this problem that some patient’s face .
Example is my wife applied online with cb1 ,they contacted us next day and asked permission to access Summary Care Record and that was it done ,then appointment 2 weeks later and prescribed, appointments often take less time to wait for them then 2 weeks also.
I must say the medical consultants will blow you away ,put people right at ease.
P.S. CB1medical is by far the cheapest and we are currently sending people that way all the time.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
