Patient Group Directions

All pharmacists and locums working in Ayrshire & Arran are encouraged to download and use the PGD Checklist to complete all relevant individual authorisations.

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 all 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.

A copy of each individual authorisation should be e-mailed to aa.cpteam@aapct.scot.nhs.uk  or posted to: Pharmacy & Prescribing Team, Eglinton House, Ailsa Hospital, Dalmellington Road, Ayr, KA6 6AB.

Please ensure that you have completed the correct version and that you have signed and dated it.
