Gloucestershire treatment algorithm is harmful and at odds with NICE
Gloucestershire is a beautiful county - but like the villages in Midsomer Murders, a potentially harmful place to live if you need B12 injections and your GP follows this Primary Care Management Treatment Algorithm. (4th section down). How many B12 deficient patients...
Go back to your GP if they used the previous BSH Guidance against you!
Many voices make a difference! Well done everyone who wrote to the BSH (British Society for Haematology) regarding their previous misinformed COVID 19 Guidance for those with B12 deficiency. They have thankfully now updated their website with much more sensible advice...

I know we're all up to our necks in Coronavirus blogs but I hope some of the following helps. UK GP's My Practice sent a message late last week saying nobody can have a face-to-face appointment with a doctor. B12 injections are still being given by nurses - as long as...
“YOU are JUST A WOMAN!”
What, no loading dose?I have been helping someone in the county of Lincolnshire to access treatment and I can say with all honesty that it is THE most difficult and frustrating case I have ever taken on. I have been told on two separate occasions that GP's in this...
