I think it can vary depending on the practice - not just doctor's for prescriptions but also the dentist. Our doctor's practice told us that the 16-18 in full time education in theory meant further education and not higher education. The dentist on the other hand did not charge up to the age of 19. Both the doctor's and the dentists did however give us a form and told us that as a student on a low income DD could apply for free prescriptions and dental care through the National Health Low Income Scheme - the form is a HC1 or 2 - sorry I can't remember which. We never went down that route as the dentist was not charging her and she had no need for a prescription but I would certainly suggest asking at your doctors or dentists if your DC are going to be charged for prescriptions or treatment.

You can get a form for low income from your Dr' s or a chemist. They have to reapply every year but gives you free prescriptions, dentist and glasses!

Just want to say good luck to all dd's/ds's starting their new colleges over the next few weeks.

dd has her first day at Urdang tomorrow and is a mixture of nerves and excitement!

Its been quite an eventful year and good luck too to this years applications xx

Good luck to your dd too Pearl.
My ds starts at Urdang tomorrow and is also very nervous and excited.
I'm sure they are going to have a fantastic time x

Good luck to all those starting their courses. Please keep us updated on how they (and you!!) are doing!! Big change for all of you, particularly those who have moved away.

Good luck to your dd Pearl - and everyone else starting out over the coming weeks I know its been a tough year to get to this point, we were at this point a year ago and dd is just about to start her 2nd year at Laine - be warned the time flies by Good luck to all the dc leaving home for the first time and also the mums and dads having to let them go! xxx

I spoke to the pharmacy - everyone no matter what course they are on get free prescriptions until the day before they are 19; after that they need a form & will still get them free as on a low income

Good luck to everyone, whether starting, returning, auditioning or parenting

It'll be fine!!

DD is sort of starting & returning so it's a bit confusing

Recless and Afab. Thanks for your advice my DD has decided to accept the degree offer at LSC. Just need to sort out accomodation and student finance now x

Great news Losingtheplot! Our DDs will be together in the course then!

My DD too was offered a place on the LSC degree course on 28th August.

It's all been manic trying to decide what to do, this was her final attempt at auditioning and the only audition she decided to do this year, so she is very excited.

The search is on for accommodation now, trying not to panic too much.

Well done to your daughter.

Well done to your DD too. It's very exciting but I must admit I can't wait until everything is finally sorted. I will speak with my DD tomorrow and see if she has any ideas with regard accomodation. Xx

Thank you Losingtheplot, we would appreciate that.

We put her name on the Chester House waiting list yesterday. So we will have to wait and see.

It is very exciting but like you I can't wait for it all to be sorted and we all know where she's going to be, I mean I know this is all last minute but I don't want it to be really last minute.x

Nope - not yet.
