The Surrey Heads of Medicines Management met with Public Health colleagues from Surrey County Council on the 2nd of February 2015 to discuss the current alcohol services commissioned by Public Heath in Surrey and to work on the development of a pathway to include the provision of nalmefene as a treatment option (NICE TA235, Nov 2014, Nalmefene for reducing alcohol consumption in people with alcohol dependence). It was noted that nalmefene is considered as a treatment option only in conjunction with continous psychosocial support and in people who remain at a high drinking risk after two weeks of initial intervention. Until this work is completed, with the agreement of a pathway for the safe and effective use of nalmefene within its licensed indication in conjunction with psychosocial support, GPs are advised not to prescribe nalmefene.
