Committee Recommendations (1)
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee recommends the use of botulinum toxin type A for the prevention of headaches in adults with chronic migraine in line with NICE TA260 (June 2012) and the locally agreed treatment pathway below.
Prescribing will be by hospital specialists only, in line with NICE TA260 using Blueteq initiation and continuation forms. Botulinum toxin type A will be considered RED on the traffic light system.
Primary care prescribers should ensure that patient medication records include any medicine for which prescribing remains the responsibility of secondary or tertiary care. This will ensure that GP records, which are accessed by other healthcare providers, are a true and accurate reflection of the patient’s medication
