Non-urgent advice: Note
When a patient is excluded from a PGD
An e-SBAR is always the preferred and endorsed method of communicating non-urgent clinical information to general practice colleagues.
This referral form has also been produced for use in NHS Fife, at the request of community pharmacy teams and GP staff alike, when an e-SBAR has not been possible. It can be given to a patient and helps communicate clearly why a PGD supply was not appropriate at that time. This is useful information for patients and general practice staff.
