To further support GP Practices, a new service is being launched to implement a remote Pharmacy Hub which will be based in Stoneyburn Health Centre.

This service will predominately deal with Hospital Discharge letters and will be staffed by a central Pharmacy Team with advanced clinical skills.

Our Hub Team may contact patients to discuss medication changes relating to recent hospital discharges.  As this Team are based in Stoneyburn Health Centre i.e. out of the Practice, the telephone number used to contact patients will differ from the Practice telephone number.
