PrEP/HIV Prescribing

Any GP can prescribe PrEP, however, Dr Euan has a lot of experience and knowledge in supporting patients who want to consider starting PrEP or who need to renew their prescription.  He is also able to prescribe post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and it is vitally important that you talk to Dr Euan about PEP as soon as possible as it has to be started within 72 hours of exposure. 

Dr Euan is also an accredited HIV prescriber able to prescribe treatment for HIV positive patients.
