08 Jul 19 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) recommends to prescribe biological products by brand name to ensure that substitution of a biosimilar product does not occur when the medicine is dispensed by the pharmacist. 

Primary care prescriber 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.
