prescriptions in england and wales....

You get them for free? :O I have to pay for mine since I turned 18 two years ago :frown:

Anyway, I think that should be ok, it isn't specified on the prescription is it?

If you're a student there's a form you can fill in to apply for free prescriptions in England. It's sort of income-assesed, but worth a try. Ask at your GP surgery for a form.

Those forms include your student loans though I think, I tried to fill one out for help with dentist fees but no luck

yes you can do that.
You could also get your mum to pick them up for you, and send them to you in the post - if you're lazy :biggrin:

This is the HC11 form that you need to fill in to apply for reduced prescription fees in England. Just because you're a student doesn't mean that your application will be accepted, you have to justify further why it's necessary.

anyway, have a look through it.

You can pick up your prescription anywhere and if you're a student it's free regardless I thought... I know it is free in Wales for students and Wales just make it free for everyone upto the age of 25 (IIRC). Just tick the I'm in full-time education box.
