Greater Glasgow and Clyde Prescribing

Welcome to the new GGC Prescribing Website.

This site has been designed as a tool to assist in promoting high quality, safe and cost-effective prescribing within the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board and includes full access to the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Formulary, policies pertaining to the management of medicines within NHSGGC and other information related to the prescribing of medicines.

In addition, there is a searchable mobile version of the Formulary database when this web address is viewed on a mobile phone browser.

The aim is for the GGC Formulary to cover the vast amount of  prescribing and for medicines included in the 'Preferred List' to account for around 75-80% of prescribing in General Practice. However it is recognised that there will be instances where prescribing outside of the formulary will be both necessary and appropriate. The GGC Formulary is produced as a joint venture between primary and secondary care.
