Help with sorting out a GP and prescription drugs

[chrisz]

Hi ,

Can someone offer some advice on how to arrange a GP and prescriptions?

I know I need to obtain a S1 from the UK and register it somewhere in Spain, BUT how do you sort out a GP?

I live on the Orihuela Costa but can I use any medical facilities in Torrevieja?

I'm on five different drugs for my heart: how do I go on in getting them prescribed to me in Spain? My initial thought is to get 12 weeks of drugs from my UK GP and then get the S1 and then look to somehow get them prescribed by a Spanish GP - do my medical notes get transferred over?

Are there some GP's that people consider to be more helpful than others?

Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Can't really help, but I would most certainly get the 12 week supply from the GP back in the UK
