What is a travelling with medication letter?
Travelling with medication comes with certain regulations and requirements, which vary from one country to another. Travellers who need to carry their medication (like insulin for diabetes patients) should be prepared in advance by understanding the paperwork needed, how to carry the medications and so on. In Scotland, a doctor’s letter for travelling with prescribed medication, also known as a medication certificate for travel, is a common document obtained by most travellers who wish to carry their medication abroad, especially when they have chronic conditions or have an active treatment going on. This letter acts as an official confirmation for authorities at the airport or the border and showcases your need for the medication you have carried along with you. This ensures your travel is smooth without any hiccups with the authorities or airlines.

What our patients say
Great service, so easy to use. Sometimes you are just sick with a head cold or flu and need a day off but also not well enough to drive yourself to the doctor and sit and wait for hours, just to be told you have a virus and need bed rest. This is a stress free way of getting the rest you need to get well while providing your work place or school with the necessary documentation.
– Carrie Ann NatsiaQuick and easy doctor’s appointments. If you don’t want to wait for a doctor in a medical centre for long periods of time for something that you know just needs rest, I highly recommend this alternative.
– Winnie ShepardThis GP service is the greatest. Quick, easy, effective and cheap. No making appointments or queues, no waiting, no expensive up front fees, the documentation you need for your day when you want it. I wish the rest of life was like Hola!
