Gluten Free Foods Service

Pharmacy teams provide an annual health check for people registered at their pharmacy for this service (unless this is done elsewhere), enabling detection of and care planning for any clinical issues. Pharmacy teams support people to do this providing advice and managing orders for food items on a monthly basis. The Pharmacy Care Record (PCR) is used to plan and record each health check.

East Region Formulary combines NHS Borders, NHS Fife and NHS Lothian.

The Adult section of the formulary is available at https://formulary.nhs.scot/east/

One section recently completed is the Coeliac Disease section at https://formulary.nhs.scot/east/nutrition-and-blood/nutrition/coeliac-disease/

This has rationalised the formulary compliant Gluten Free Foods for all the Boards.
