Medicines

My husband took a photo of my weekly main pill pot last night as he was filling it. Says he liked the colours! These are just some of the pills I have to take each day throughout the week. Thanks to NHS Scotland I get these and other medical treatment free of charge. I don't even pay for prescriptions.

In parts of the UK (e.g. England) most people have to pay a small admin fee for each prescription, or buy a longer-term prepayment certificate which can be effective if they are getting many. But in Scotland prescriptions are free for all. People in the UK do not have to pay drug costs for prescriptions. It's part of our NHS coverage.

Yes I like "pill pot" too! I recently upgraded to this new whizzier model, as I was adding more and more chunky pills. It accommodates them well. Though this doesn't include the many pills (at least half as much again) I take at a different time of day.

My husband fills my pill pot each week for me.
