Life Threatening Emergency Call - 999

You should call 999 or go to A&E if you, or someone you know, experiences a life-threatening medical or mental health emergency. These are cases where there is immediate danger to life or physical injury. A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency. If you feel like you may be close to acting on suicidal thoughts or have seriously harmed yourself, you should call 999 or go to A&E directly if you need immediate help and are worried about your safety

Surgery Abroad Without NHS Referral 

NHS Scotland does not recommend choosing to pay to travel abroad for surgery as part of a packaged holiday. This is sometimes called surgical or cosmetic tourism. Surgical options in Scotland can appear more expensive, but patients should think about the potential savings against the potential risks of travelling for surgery.
Please see the following NHS Inform guidance which you may wish to repeat on your practice website:

 

 

Travelling Abroad

When travelling overseas for more than one month we strongly advise that you contact the practice in good time to ensure that we can provide you with sufficient medication for your time away.  We normally request a minimum of 4 working days for all prescription requests, however you may be required to see a GP to discuss your requirements.
In line with NHS guidelines we can provide up to 3 months of medication, however this may be dependent upon what medication you require but should give you a sufficient amount to ensure you have time to make suitable arrangements while away.
Please note that if you intend to be away for more than 3 months you may be de-registered from the practice and required to re-register when you return.  This can be discussed with the practice prior to going overseas and is agreed on an individual basis.
