Did you know that your repeat prescription list helps our staff understand your current medicines if you’re admitted to hospital?

Keeping medicines you no longer take on your list can cause confusion.

If you’ve stopped taking something but it’s still on your prescription, please let us know by emailing bor.stopmymedicine@borders.scot.nhs.uk.

Cases of flu are high this winter, so if you’re wondering whether it’s just a cold or you’re floored with flu here’s what to do.

Most symptoms can be safely managed at home. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and use paracetamol or ibuprofen to ease aches and fever. Your pharmacist can advise on cold and flu remedies.

Antibiotics won’t help with colds and flu as they are viruses – time and self-care are best.

To stop the spread:
💉 get your flu vaccination if you are eligible
🧼 wash your hands regularly
😷 cover coughs and sneezes
