Moving to UK - Stelara

[jiml]

Hi irumudikkilli and   to the club I don't know the answer to your question but thought I would just say hi and to say you have come to a great place for advice, as you will be among fellow sufferers all trying to deal with the disease ...you won't see any spam or advertising here so the advice you get will be genuine without any external influence.

I think the treatment you will get here will depend on where you live ....the NHS is not that national as each area has different priorities for spending their budgets ...so where it should be a straight transition from one EU country to another it might not be that simple  ....you may well get Stelara but they may ask for your treatment history and see if they can give you something cheaper

Your first hurdle will be getting a doctor to refer you to a hospital dermatology department as general doctors can't prescribe the biological drugs ( I'm pretty sure) and just getting a referral can take a while  

I know that's not very helpful but we have a strange health service where we have had members moving from one county to another and then struggling to get a biological drug

Good luck I hope you do get it without too much hassle
