Any personal information transmitted via Practice Survey forms may be anonymised by the Practice when this is required to ensure compliance with General Data Protection Regulation. This information is not shared with any external third party organisations.

Are you aware that from April, the NHS will no longer be able to prescribe medicines for minor ailments like:
- dandruff
- cold sores
- coughs
- colds
- hay fever
- mild dry skin
NHS England has recommended that medicines for minor ailments should no longer be routinely prescribed.
Please purchase these in future, with advice from a pharmacy if needed.
As of Wednesday 6th March 2019, Eskdaill Medical will no longer accept prescription requests from Pharmacies for the majority of patients under 80 years of age. Patients will need to order their repeat prescriptions directly with the Surgery.
