Have your say on homecare medicine delivery services in Scotland

Published 20 September 2023

NHS Scotland is reviewing homecare medicine delivery services. This review aims to understand your experience of these services and any issues you have faced, which have affected your condition and life. 

We know that homecare medicine delivery services can help you personalise your care and take control of your treatment plan. However, there are deep, systemic and long-standing failures in these services, which put your care at risk and adds pressure on an already stretched IBD workforce.   

Earlier this year, you told us about some of the issues you face. Delayed and cancelled medicine deliveries. Medicines that arrive without a nurse. Hours spent on the phone trying to get an answer. 

Now is your chance to have your say on homecare medicines services in Scotland. Share your experience of homecare medicines delivery services from the last year in our short survey by 1 October
