New Models of Prescribing Pilot Programme launched

The first pilot of New Models of Prescribing Programme has launched.

This project will focus on musculoskeletal, respiratory and lymphoedema prescribing in the outpatient and community setting within SEHSCT and SHSCT.

Prescribers participating in both these pilots will issue prescriptions directly to patients in situations where it is of benefit to the patient to:

Commence treatment quickly (within 72 hours of contact with the non-medical prescriber)
Titrate medication and have an early review for response and appropriateness.
