Question:
Can a Medical Doctor in the UK write a prescription for his/her self?

Answers:
Not any more - we used to be able to until a few years ago. When we were allowed to the prescriptions still got spot-checked, to make sure we weren't prescibing ourselves or relatives anything dodgy.

It's quite annoying actually as if I need something really simple that I'm perfectly capable of prescibing anyone else I still have to take time off work (and cancel my own surgery) to go to my GP where I am registered to get a prescription. Still, I guess I could be Harold Shipman number 2, someone's gotta check.
No!
