@Nickiquote @BenCotterill It would be useful if they did all carry the logo; some don't. I've just returned a pack of "Hillcross" statins to the pharmacist in the local medical centre; it's a brand name, but Teva are the licensed manufacturer. I was told that drugs are ordered from #NHSScotland, who will usually provide the cheapest items. I said the real price was far too high for me. Let's see what happens next...

So, apparently The Royal Ed A&E has an eight hour wait tonight. Out-of-hours aren't picking up. You may wish to adjust your risk profile accordingly. I hope you can.

As far as I am aware, #NHSScotland has *declined* to grant Palantir access to patient data. Can anyone confirm?

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. Good news yesterday, our friend Peter is having a care package sorted out and is coming home soon!👍#NHSScotland

I'm off to Buckie today. MrsD is having her legs waxed, and toe nails done. She can't put shoes on until it hardens so I'm driving. Wesley was due a haircut today in Buckie but they had to postpone for a week. Bummer! (With a gg!)

Have a great day. Have fun, take care.

GPs warn a £290m funding gap threatens the future of NHS Scotland - BBC News

"the funding which GP practices receive for every patient has been eroded year after year against inflation since 2008"

Now add in the extra NI payments, too. That's the UK gov robbing Peter to pay Paul.

90% of patient contact is through GPs and *that's* why it's a part of the NHS you need to support first.

What do you think will happen if Labour gain control of NHS Scotland for five years?

Just listened to the most distorted report on BBC Radio Scotland about waiting times in #NHSScotland causing additional deaths. No, Helen Puttick people in Scotland do not celebrate more people dying in England, but they are grateful to have the UK's best performing #NHS here.

In Boots buying antihistamine tablets. Told I could get them as a free over the counter prescription, even though they were only a few quid. Bet you don’t get that in England! #NHSScotland💙

Huge thanks to #NHSTayside for my 9th Covid vaccine this morning. Very efficiently done, and I'm extremely grateful for the protection, even if my #autoimmune neuro disease sadly flares dramatically for 3 months after every #Covid #vaccine (yes my doctors know and we agree I keep getting them). Having had Covid 3 times in recent months I want the protection too much not to take my offered vaccines. Thanks to the #NHS. I'm severely #immunosuppressed, hence so many vaccines. #Tayside #NHSScotland

Booked in for my 9th #Covid #vaccine by #NHS #Tayside. I get so many because I'm severely #immunosuppressed. Covid vaccines have all so far triggered 3 month long #autoimmune #neurological illness #flares for me. Extremely hard to cope with. But I need my protection more. I'm lucky to generate #antibodies. #neuro #NHS #NHSScotland

My husband took a #photo of my weekly main pill pot last night as he was filling it. Says he liked the colours! These are just some of the #pills I have to take each day throughout the week. Thanks to #NHSScotland I get these and other medical treatment free of charge. I don't even pay for #prescriptions. #NHS #PublicHealth #Medicine #Drugs #Scotland

Anyone in the Fort William/Lochaber area this Sat? Rally on the High St, FW at 11am. We're using a bit of people power to tell the Scottish Government that the long-awaited new Belford Hospital must go ahead. We've waited too long for this to go back on the back burner whilst budgets are reassessed...

Back home from my second (last dose) #shingles #vaccination at the #Dundee Vaccination Centre in the city centre. Huge thanks to #NHS #Tayside staff and volunteers again. I qualify for the shingles vaccine this year because it's being extended to severely #immunosuppressed people aged 50+. Very grateful. #vaccine #NHSScotland #NHSTayside

Got a letter for my first of two #shingles #vaccines. Severely #immunosuppressed people aged over 50 are being offered them from this year. An unpleasantly early appointment time, but at least the city centre should be fairly quiet. The appointment is for early January. Thanks to the #NHS #NHSScotland #NHSTayside #vaccine
