I found this information from one GP practice's website:

Regarding eggs - I've just amended my Tesco order, due for delivery tomorrow. The only eggs not out of stock are the South West produced ones: https://steweeggs.com/ I usually buy this brand anyway, so was quite happy paying the higher price for premium free range eggs.

Sainsbury's took down their link to the site very quickly. I suspect the government suddenly started seeing the list increase dramatically, as many (yes, actual) vulnerable people quickly signed up. The website given was provided on the letter the NHS sent to my daughter (as my carer), with the...

I think there are a few doctors and nurses living in my village, which is probably helping the information and advice that's being put out via the parish network. They cancelled all village and community activities even before the government banned 'large gatherings'.

Eggs seem to be available where I live, but that might be due to there being a lot produced locally. In my village the farmer leaves them on a wall with an 'honesty box' for payment. This was before the coronavirus, so I'm not sure if they've had to be more restrictive with them now. Have you...

Yes, I was only able to proceed the 2nd time because the advice (now removed) on the Asthma UK website had shown that my asthma should be considered as severe according to my current medication. (The Asthma UK site now says to ask your own GP whether your asthma is 'severe'.)

I think they changed the questions after @Wonko asked about them on the forum. I noticed that the 2nd time I did it they listed the specific clinical conditions in the question about whether you were extremely vulnerable, and also emphasised the 'clinically vulnerable' point.

I'm wondering if this means that they are going to share the complete list of everyone who signed up (who clicked they needed help) with the supermarkets this week, without any editing. This would be good news for everyone who doesn't meet the clinical criteria set out by the NHS. I hope so...

Unfortunately I am outside of the area my nearest Iceland delivers to (they only deliver within 5 miles of their store). If I pay in store for items in my shopping trolley, they will deliver them later in the day, because I'm within 10 miles. That's not much use if you're housebound!

That's the application I use. The practice has to sign up with it as far as I'm aware (that is, they issued me my original login password linked to the email address I provided, which I was then able to change). It is a very good system, but I expect individual practices have to pay for a...

Thanks for posting that Trish, I was wondering what was happening with Tesco. I have 2 slots booked with them for next week and the week after that, that I booked a few weeks ago when slots were still available. I'm really concerned about my daughter having to shop more than necessarily. Her...

I managed to get more personal 'allowances/reasonable adjustments' from my GP because at the time I had an independent professional advocate, my Rethink support worker or my daughter with me for all my appointments. Additionally, the Clinical Psychologist who did my autism assessment ran some...

Before they changed the rules about a year ago (can't remember exactly when) I wasn't able to order my repeat Tramadol electronically, although I was able to order everything else. So my GP practice agreed I could give them a year's worth of self-addressed envelopes (or addressed to the pharmacy...

If you go to your practice's website, you might find a link to 'Accessible Information Standard' or 'Accessibility'. It'll likely be hidden away where no one who isn't specifically looking for it will see it! This is what my surgery's website says: But of course, it still doesn't list it's...

My GP will accept emails and letters by email attachments but insists on sending her responses by hard copy letter (the reasoning is about the 'lack of security' of emailing). I made that arrangements years ago, before the Standard was introduced by NHS England. I still haven't got around to...

Just to remind people, GP practices should be following the Accessible Information Standard and allowing contact by email if the patient needs to communicate this way: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/accessible-info-standard-overview-2017-18.pdf

Absolutely. Personally, if I didn't have my healthy daughter to help me, I would be back to suffering the severe mental illness (autism related) I've managed to keep at bay for the last few years.

Tesco (my normal delivery company) haven't locked me out, but all their slots are booked for the next 3 weeks (they now only put 3 weeks of delivery slots up, it used to be 4).

Ha Ha - yes, I was referring to the fact that electrical shops are all closed and I remember reading something about all the freezers selling out over a couple of weeks ago with all the panic buying...
