Patient Group Directions

Contractors should ensure that all pharmacists and locums they employ are aware of the services you are contractually obliged to provide. Contracted services must be provided during contracted opening hours. Pharmacists and locums must be legally covered to provide services by completing the mandatory training required as indicated in the PGD and signing the individual authorisation.

Change to the process of submission of PGD authorisation forms

As of September 1st 2025, we have moved to a new electronic system of PGD recording which has proven successful after recent trialling.

Pharmacists are asked now to complete one MS form to confirm that they have completed the correct version of the agreement form, have signed and dated it before storing within the pharmacy.

There is now no need to sumbit individual PGD agreement forms to the aa.cpteam@aapct.scot.nhs.uk inbox.

Please use this electronic submission form once ready to declare agreement to the below PGDs.
