A pharmacy one. This can't be right can it?

[IncognitoMam]

Dh went to the GP and was prescribed anti bs and an inhaler. He went to the local pharmacy and they said there was a prescription for me too and gave him it. We both pay.
Y issue isn't really with me, dh knows I have this medication. But some people might not want their dh knowing surely?

AIBU or is this not unusual?

It’s fucking antibiotics and an inhaler, hardly birth control pills! Give the pharmacy some credit!

My local pharmacy gives me my mum’s meds if I’m collecting a prescription for myself.

You are the reason why there is no community anymore.

Frothing 🙄

YANBU

The anti B and inhaler was OPs husbands prescription. The OP has not said what her prescription was for.

Probably for paracetamol then, or she would have said what it was.

A pharmacist is not in a position to know the family dynamics of people who share the same address.
Yes, I would have been frothing and filed a complaint if the pharmacist had happily said "Oh, here's your wife's prescription", when I in the process of divorcing him. The antidepressants would have been ammunition to throw at me about being "mental" and an unfit mother.
Patient confidentiality is there for a reason.

It doesn't matter what the items were, the point is they breached privacy and GDPR protocol!!

I collect eprscriptions for myself , dh. Dm , ds and have also done some for dniece. I just go in and say 'prescription to collect for Joe bloggs'. Never been refused, pharmacy has never been given permission by yhe person. All they ask i's for the address and if they pay

I think gdpr in healthcare generally is shocking- particularly for the elderly.
pharmaciex will give information out on the name of the patient- checking what prescriptions they have been sent on the system for example. In pharmacies near me only asking for the address of the patient when actually handing over the prescriptions.
I also have had hospitals give me lots of details over the phone with minimal information- even before I was registered as having health and welfare power of attorney and wasn’t even next of kin. Personal and life changing diagnosis shared with me before the patient. All this information was very helpful, but I found it astounding when you consider the sensitivities involve.
it astounds me when I see the lengths legally we go to in my organisation (and we don’t hold sensitive data)
