Committee Recommendations (2)

01 Nov 17 - Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
Patient Specific Directions (PSDs) are often used to enable non-medical practitioners (practice nurses, health care assistants) to administer specific medicines for specific conditions.
A PSD tempate for EMIS system users has been developed by a local GP practice to improve the consistency and content of their testosterone injection (Nebido) PSDs.
This PSD template (among others) is available from your local Medicines Management Team should your practice wish to adopt / adapt it.

Please contact your local Medicines Management Team for assistance
20 May 09 - Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
Following the presentation of further information since the last meeting the committee agreed with the use of Nebido in line with the SMC recommendation and agreed that it should be made available as an option for the treatment of male hypogonadism in Surrey PCT when testosterone deficiency has been confirmed by clinical features and biochemical tests
