Gateshead & South Tyneside LPC is pleased to announce that we have negotiated a new "flu vaccination" service with South Tyneside Council. The service is funded by the council and is to allow its staff to be privately vaccinated in the pharmacy. The service is open to all pharmacies in South Tyneside and Gateshead and full details can be obtained by clicking here.

Although Pharmacies in South Tyneside will receive the majority of requests. We are opening the service up to Gateshead contractors to allow South Tyneside Council Staff to attend pharmacies across a wider area. It has been brought to the LPC's attention by many pharmacists across our patch, that patient's prescriptions are sometimes switched to another "nominated" pharmacy which is not their regular pharmacy when a one-off prescription (for example, an antibiotic) is prescribed and the patient chooses to collect it from a different pharmacy. This can sometimes cause distress to patients and has, on occasion, led to delayed medicine and additional waste as duplicate prescriptions have needed to be produced for the patient's MDS device. The LPC would strongly recommend that pharmacies are mindful of these issues regarding the nomination process; and to ensure that procedures are in place to ensure the smooth running of the EPS service. |
