Sharps Service Level Agreement
Pharmacy teams can email Loth.TransportClinicalWasteEnq@nhs.scot for questions relating to collection schedules or to obtain extra bins. Patient queries should be directed to the Patient Experience Team.
Key points
- 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.
