I’m going on holiday soon but am also on very strong medication. I need a letter from my GP stating the reasons I need said medication.

I don’t know how! How do I start? What do I say? I can’t write letters to save my life. Somebody please help me!

Have I misunderstood you or is it a letter that you need from your GP to show to somebody else as to why you on medication ? in this case it's the GP that should be right in the letter not you I would just phone your GP and ask them for a letter explaining why you need it.

Who has asked for the letter? Letters for travel are not part of NHS services - some GP’s might write one for a fee, as a private service, but many would also refuse due to workload issues

I’ve asked the GP for a letter confirming my medications and reason for taking it. Unfortunately I’ve been told it needs to be put into writing

The country I’m visiting is very strict regarding meds. I need permission from them to bring medication into their country. They also require a Gp’s letter.

Dear GP, please write a letter ‘to whom it may concern’, confirming my medication and reasons for taking it. Thank you, Eat.

Dear Dr X

I am visiting * in July, and As you will know they have strict rules regarding the medication I am on.

In order to travel I require a letter stating which medication I am on, and why it is needed.

Please could you let me know how much you charge for this service, and the time scale.

Sorry if my initial post didn’t make sense. My heads all over the place.
Dafspunk Reply is perfect. It sounds so simple but my brain could not come up with that Blush
