Medicines Waste
Pharmacy teams can email Debbie.Dickie@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk for questions relating to collection schedules or to obtain extra bins.
Only patient returned medicines can be placed in your dispensary bins. All other items (e.g. expired stock, confidential waste, general waste, recycling) must be disposed of via your own private waste collection services.
Waste must be segregated appropriately for collection. This includes removing any outer packaging and patient identifiable information.
