Decision hub: eConsult, phone, pharmacist, optician, dentist, minor injuries, NHS 24 or 999?

Choose the safest route before submitting a form or travelling to the practice.

Medicine or minor ailment

Care Navigator phone script

Hello, my name is [name]. Date of birth: [date]. I am registered at Peterculter Medical Practice. I need help with [one clear issue]. It started [when]. It is [getting worse/not improving]. I have tried [self-care/medicine]. I am worried because [reason]. Is this best for eConsult, GP, nurse, pharmacist, optician, dentist, minor injuries, NHS 24 or 999?

eConsult: what to use it for and what to avoid

The Peterculter eConsult page shows options for adult health problems, child health problems, sick notes/tests/routine requests and reviews for long-term conditions, medication or contraception.

eConsult portal eConsult FAQs Practice phone guidance

eConsult option	Use it for	Do not use it for
Adult health problems	Non-emergency symptoms or GP advice requests.	Chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, major injury, heavy bleeding or emergency symptoms.
Child health problems	Suitable child symptom requests where the form allows.	Feverish/floppy infant, lethargic child, breathing difficulty, severe pain, serious injury or emergency concerns.
Sick notes, tests or routine requests	Fit-note requests, routine admin, result questions and similar non-urgent tasks.	Urgent clinical deterioration.
Reviews for long-term conditions, medication or contraception	Routine reviews and medication/contraception-related requests.	Emergency medicine shortage or urgent side effects needing same-day advice.
Pharmacy/self-help prompts	Where the portal suggests pharmacy or self-help, consider that route first.	Repeated submissions for the same urgent issue instead of phoning.

Practical submission tip: write one issue per eConsult. Include symptom start date, severity, what changed, medicines tried, photos if requested by the form, and your best phone number.

Repeat and acute prescriptions: 4 working days and pharmacy chase rule

The official prescription page says the practice aims for prescription requests to be with the chosen pharmacy within 4 working days. It also says same-day turnaround cannot be guaranteed if you have run out.

Official prescription request page Patient Access NHS Scotland prescription charges Medicines Care and Review Service

Form

Online prescription form

Use the practice prescription page. Copy medicine details exactly from the prescription slip, for example medicine name and strength.

Patient Access

Use Patient Access if you are already signed up. The practice notes it is not currently accepting new registrations for this service due to a future service change.

Acute / special requests

Acute or special requests need clinical review and may not arrive at the same time as regular repeat prescriptions.

4 working days

After 4 days, check your chosen pharmacy first. If they do not have the prescription, phone the practice.

Prescription issue	Official / practical detail	Best action
Routine repeat request	Target is pharmacy within 4 working days.	Order before your final few doses.
Same-day need because you ran out	Practice cannot guarantee same-day turnaround.	Speak to your pharmacy about emergency supply.
Acute or special medication request	Requires clinical review and may be delayed.	Explain why it is needed and how urgent it is.
Holiday / early supply	Early request may be rejected if no explanation is given.	Write holiday/away dates in the special medication section.
No confirmation received	Practice says it does not contact patients just to confirm issue.	Check with pharmacy after 4 working days.
Prescription charge	Scottish prescription forms dispensed in Scotland are free of charge.	Ask pharmacy if your situation involves cross-border or private prescription rules.

Medication safety tip: do not wait until medicine has run out. Order early, nominate the correct pharmacy, and remember weekends/public holidays do not count as working days.

Test results: wait around 7 days unless told otherwise

The official results page says patients are usually expected to wait 7 days for practice-arranged results unless told otherwise. Hospital/clinic-arranged tests should be chased through the hospital or clinic that requested them.

Official test results page Lab Tests Online Call practice

Result issue	Official rule	Patient action
Practice-arranged test	Usually wait 7 days unless told otherwise.	Call only after enough time has elapsed.
Hospital/clinic-arranged test	Practice says it cannot action tests requested by clinicians outside the practice.	Contact the hospital/clinic/consultant team for the result and advice.
Confidentiality	Results are released only to the patient unless permission is given or the patient cannot understand them.	Arrange permission before a carer/family member calls.
Specimens	Samples must be in the correct container and marked with name, date of birth, date and reason.	Ask reception for the correct container before bringing a sample.
Care Navigator role	Care Navigation staff are not qualified to comment on results.	Book follow-up with a clinician if you need interpretation or next steps.

Result question to ask when tested: “Who requested this test, when should I expect the result, and who will explain it?” This avoids the GP and hospital sending you back and forth.

Sick notes / fit notes: self-certify first 7 days

The practice asks sick notes to be requested through eConsult first where possible and says urgent or emergency appointments should not be used for fit-note requests.

Official sick note page SC2 self-certification form Request via eConsult

Situation	What to do	Important detail
Off work 7 days or fewer	Self-certify using employer/SC2 route.	Count all calendar days, including weekends and public holidays.
More than 7 days	Request fit note through eConsult first.	Give exact dates and work limitation details.
Hospital admission	Hospital can issue a note for time in hospital.	After discharge, GP may issue based on discharge letter.
Private certificate / extra letter	May require a charge.	Ask Care Navigation team before requesting.
Urgent appointment only for fit note	Not appropriate.	Use eConsult/admin route unless new urgent illness is present.

Home visits: phone before 10:30am if truly needed

The home-visit page says home visits are medically assessed and are for patients where a visit is clinically appropriate, not for convenience, lack of transport or social reasons.

Official home visits page Call practice

Home visit point	Official / practical detail	Action
Request timing	Call before 10:30am for urgent same-day visit requests.	Phone early and provide a current landline/mobile number.
Appropriate examples	Terminally ill, truly bedbound, or patient would come to serious harm if moved.	Explain exactly why travel is unsafe.
Not appropriate	No transport/money, mobile child/young person, convenience, social reasons, feeling well but wanting check-up.	Use surgery appointment, pharmacy, NHS 24 or transport support instead.
Who decides?	Triage nurse or doctor medically assesses the request.	Expect a call before a visit is agreed.
Emergency admission	Ambulance/hospital route may be organised without first seeing the patient if appropriate.	Use 999 where emergency signs are present.
