I am looking for doctors or physicians in England who will issue a prescription for medicine. The information I will give over the internet as the doctor/physician requires - I do not wish to go there in person. I am not looking for a pharmacy to do this prescription for me - it should be an independent phsician or doctor only. I would like a list of 4-5 doctors/physicians with as many contact details as possible (phone, fax, website.email (if any), address). |

I very much doubt if any doctor in the UK would give you a prescription without having examined you. Why, here in the UK, vets won't even provide treatment for you to give to your pet, unless they know the animal. |

Although the page this is on refers to Botox, it quotes: From the doctors? professional practice perspective, the General Medical Council (GMC) has issued guidance on the subject of remote consultations as follows: ?Giving advice by telephone is part of many doctors' day-to-day relationship with their patients. In some circumstances providing advice by telephone or computer link may be essential, for example, where patients are geographically isolated from their doctor. However the use of phone or e-mail should not diminish the quality of care patients receive. Consultations and prescribing by phone or e-mail may seriously compromise standards of care where: The patient is not previously known to the doctor. No examination can be provided. There is little or no provision for appropriate monitoring of the patient or follow-up care. Doctors who wish to provide telephone or online services should consider carefully whether such a service will serve their patients' interests, and if necessary, seek advice from their professional association or medical defence society.? http://medicines.mhra.gov.uk/inforesources/saleandsupply/botox.htm Owain |

There are organisations out there that can provide the service you are looking for One is called "e-med" they can be found at http://www.e-med .co.uk The following quote was taken from an interview with Dr. Julian Eden for the BBC's clickonline program: "... As long as you get good information coming in about a medical problem then quite often you can make an accurate assessment and diagnosis where appropriate for that condition. With us they know they get a two or three hour turnaround time, urgent problems can be dealt with immediately and they can get any medication, referral or diagnosis that they need within a matter of minutes." |

Sorry, I should have put in the link to the BBC (clickonline) article: www.bbcworld.com/content/clickonline_archive_20_2004.asp?pageid=666&co_pageid=2 According to the report the "Health on the Net Foundation" ( http://www.hon.ch )have a HONcode accreditation for approved medical websites. Hope this helps. |
