1 in 10 prescriptions in Scotland go unused.

When medicine prescriptions aren’t taken, valuable NHS resources are wasted. Reducing waste helps the NHS provide care where it’s needed most. Let’s make every prescription count.

What you can do to help:
• Check what medicines you already have before reordering.
• Only order medicines when you’re down to your last 2 weeks supply.
• Please speak to your GP pharmacy team if your repeat prescription isn’t up to date or if you’re unsure what you should be taking.

By ordering medicines responsibly you’re helping to reduce waste, supporting NHS resources and protecting your own health and the environment.

🌿 Caring for Someone with Persistent Pain?

Supporting someone living with ongoing pain can be rewarding—but also exhausting, confusing, and sometimes overwhelming.
It’s easy to focus all your energy on the person you care for… but your wellbeing matters too. 💛

💡 The Live Well With Pain “Ten Footsteps for Carers” offer simple, practical guidance to help you support your loved one while also looking after yourself:

🌱 Small changes can make a big difference—for both you and the person you care for.

💬 Remember: You don’t have to “fix” pain. Your role is to support, encourage, and walk alongside them.
