MyCare.scot, an online service for managing health information, recently launched for dermatology outpatients in NHS Lanarkshire. Users can access hospital appointments, letters, allergies, and medications. The program’s director, Greg Thomson, highlighted this achievement and noted plans for broader availability by 2026, along with upcoming promotional events.
NHS Lanarkshire reminds patients to order repeat prescriptions in advance, as their Out of Hours service only offers emergency prescriptions for essential medications like insulin and inhalers. Timely orders help ensure urgent services remain available for those in greater need. Plan ahead, especially for the bank holiday.
