Committee Recommendations (1)

03 Dec 25 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

As part of the Surrey Heartlands Joint Formulary review, the Surrey Heartlands APC approved a change in traffic light status for patients requiring treatment with donepezil:

  • Blue - on specialist recommendation (previously Amber with shared care for patients who were not suitable for discharge and who required ongoing follow-up with the specialist mental health team)

The prescribing of donepezil for patients who are not suitable for discharge can be carried out by Primary Care but, the specialist mental health team will retain responsibility for the review and follow-up of patients that continue to require specialist input.
