New CD section on Society website
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society now has a section on its website dedicated to providing information about Controlled Drugs.
It contains updated information on the current changes to the monitoring
and inspection, prescribing, supply and record keeping requirements for
Controlled Drugs. It outlines the changes, clarifying whether they are
legislative or a matter of good practice, and provides links to further
information.
The information is supplemented by links to a dozen documents giving
answers to frequently asked questions on different aspects of the changes
in Controlled Drug management, plus contact details for raising queries
not already covered in the FAQ documents.
The page concludes with links to relevant documents related to the Shipman
Inquiry, and particularly to the inquiry’s fourth report, which
has led to most of the changes designed to improve the management of
Controlled Drugs.
The “Controlled
Drugs” section can be accessed through the “Use
of medicines” page on the Society’s website. |
