CD handwriting exemption checks

The Home Office has changed the telephone numbers that pharmacists should use when seeking confirmation that a prescriber has been granted a handwriting exemption for Controlled Drug prescriptions. The new numbers are 020 7217 8230, 8434 and 8713.

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society asks pharmacists to amend the telephone numbers given on p25 of the new edition of 'Medicines, ethics and practice: a guide for pharmacists' (PJ, 5 July, p30), which went to press before the change was announced.
