NHS Lothian - Diazepam advice
We have received new guidance from NHS Lothian regarding the prescription of Diazepam for anxiety symptoms whilst flying: we regret that we are no longer able to prescribe Diazepam for anxious fliers. This is on safety grounds due to the risks of blood clots, over-sedation or unexpected excitation/ agitation which can all occur with Diazepam. Please click the link below for further information from NHS.

ONLINE PATIENT SERVICES
This system is quick and efficient and will allow you to order your Prescription. There will also be a service to allow you to book Face to Face GP appointments online.
- Patients will complete the registration form HERE (it may download at the bottom left of your screen) save the document to your desktop then attach it to an email and submit it to clinical.S70131@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk
- Each applicant from a family will need their own personal email address. (because it gives access to a medical record shared email addresses are not acceptable). Children under 16 cannot use this system.
- A link key will be sent to your email address to allow you to set a password and access the system. You can manage and recall your password online.
- Once registered, you will be able to book from a selection of routine face to face 10 minute GP appointments online. (Unfortunately not nurse appointments as these require additional information at the time of booking). You will be able to see all your appointments (not just those booked online). Only single GP appointments can be booked - if you need a double appointment please phone the surgery to book your appointment.
- Once registered, you can view and reorder all your current repeat medications (the medicines that you order regularly that are shown on your repeat prescription reorder form). It will not show your acute medications (items that the doctor authorises for a short period or for single occasions) but you can request these via this new system. You can also view the status of any requests you have made.
