New - Pharmacien correspondant

Soon it will be possible for anyone suffering from an ALD to have their treatment renewed or the dose modified by their "Nominated Pharmacist", rather that its being necessary to see their MT to do this.

Excellent.

Very useful information thanks [:D]

Undoubtedly a good idea but will the MT be willing to either risk the treatment or give up the fee?

The MT has the choice, so it's his decision, and could depend on the time he has available for patients.

"L'ordonnance devra mentionner que le pharmacien peut faire le

renouvellement ou le changement de posologie qui pourra être limité à

une partie de l'ordonnance. En cas de nouvelle posologie, le pharmacien

devra en informer le médecin traitant."

As this service is only available for ALDs, I think its use is limited as the list for ALDs has shrunk and many long-standing conditions are not given the status of ALDs.

For example, I have a condition for over 30 years and I am treated with the same medications year after year.  BUT it is not classified as an ALD.

That is true, and it is also true that the Sécu is clamping down more and more, but at the moment my MT puts most of my medicines in the part of the prescription that is supposed to be for ALDs..

May not last though...
