To further support GP practices, a new service is being launched to implement a remote pharmacy hub, which will deal predominantly with hospital discharge medication. Please see news below for further information.
This service will be staffed by a central pharmacy team with advanced clinical skills.
Our hub team may contact patients to discuss medication changes relating to recent hospital discharges. As this team are based out with the practice at Stoneyburn Health Centre, the telephone number used to contact patients will differ from the practice telephone number.This is a new service being launched which will support your medication reviews after any hospital admission.
Pharmacy team
Health board pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are becoming more involved in the care of patients in General Practice. Having the pharmacy team working in our surgery provides valuable medicines support, a close link with our community pharmacy teams and allows our GPs to focus their skills and time where they are most needed for patients who have more complex needs. Pharmacists are experts in medicines and can talk to you about how to get the best from your medicines.
