Keep treatment decisions with your care team

A medicine catalogue is information about products, not an offer to supply them. Ordering remains closed while a regulated clinical partner and the required care arrangements are uncommissioned. Coaching cannot authorise eligibility, a dose change or a prescription.

What you can do next

Speak to your GP or an appropriately qualified prescriber about treatment. Use SHIFT to organise practical food, movement and day-to-day questions.
