This helps keep urgent NHS services free for people who need them most.

⛑️ Out of Hours will only provide emergency prescriptions for essential medicines like:
• insulin
• inhalers for acute asthma
• palliative care pain relief
• epilepsy medication

📦 Don’t get caught short — order now and stay well this bank holiday.

After three decades of dedicated service at the Practice, Dr Flowerdew has made the decision to retire.

We are sure that you will want to join us in wishing him a happy and well-earned retirement.

We are hoping that he might agree to do the odd Locum session to help the Practice out in the future.

All the best for the future Dr Flowerdew 🥂🍾🥳

Plan Ahead for the Bank Holiday on Monday 21 July.

Most Lanarkshire patients already order their repeat prescriptions in good time. Thank you — this keeps urgent NHS services available when they’re needed most.

Our Out of Hours service will issue emergency prescriptions for essential medicines only (for example insulin, inhalers for acute asthma, palliative care pain relief or epilepsy treatment).

Need a routine prescription? Plan ahead and order your repeat prescriptions in time to ensure you have a supply over the bank holiday.

Thank you for planning ahead and helping us help you.

Douglasdale Medical Practice would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Douglasdale Real Group for the beautiful hanging baskets placed outside the Douglas Surgery.
