Looking for Access to a Clinical Mailbox/Password Reset/Clinical Portal/ECS/PCR?
Consistent feedback from NHS24/OOH suggests that one of the main barriers to obtaining optimum pharmacy coverage in the out of hours period is the lack of pharmacy staff who have access to the clinical mailbox. To request access to various digital platforms please contact NHSLanarkshire.PharmacyFacilitation@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
Have you reviewed and signed the Patient Group Directions (PGDs)?
Registered Healthcare Professionals are covered under a PGD as soon as they accept the professional obligations by signing the Authorisation Sheet, while there is no regulatory or legal requirement for copies of the signed sheets to be submitted to the Board, it is recommended that Boards keep a list of the Registered Healthcare Professionals that are operating under a Patient Group Direction(s). In place of submitting signed sheets to the board, NHS Lanarkshire now has an e-form available for Community Pharmacy Registered Healthcare Professionals to notify boards of PGD sign up: PGD Sign Up
**N.B. – This e-form does not replace individual PGD authorisation forms that are held within branch**
