I unfortunately, I am on old medication that cannot be changed. The variation I take I am having continuous trouble when needing replacement. Does this ring a bell to any one if so what do you do?
When it happened early this year I found a chemist in our small local city that kept them but now I cannot get them in our local town as well as in our local city.
So much for getting old so being on old 1950 medication that I believe were first on the market around the 1920. As I mentioned I am not able to change

I have just googled this and Simple Online Pharmacy works with AAH.

AAH was under common ownership with LloydsPharmacy.
Following the sell-off and restructure of Lloyds' physical store network, many of their community pharmacies retain supply contracts with AAH.

Just found this - "Script Checker is a digital service connecting the user to a pharmacy only for the intention of confirming a medication's availability."

You need an NHS email to use it.
Does your surgery have a clinical pharmacist?
I'd ask them to look it up for you.
