In 2014 we did back up for Miss B's boyfriend (now husband) and his Dad on first week a JoGLE ride - from JoG to Carlisle. Dad is a GP. When the son's knee played up after a few days his father was able to obtain some prescription only stuff. As above it involved his ID and GMC etc number which pharmacist was able to verify.
I don't know if the pharmacist used a professional portal or just facility on GMC website.
