Committee Recommendations (2)

02 Apr 25 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands Integated Care system Area Prescribing Committee recommends the administration of depot antipsychotic injections under an AMBER shared care agreement for practices that have signed up to the agreed locally commissioned service (LCS). The AMBER shared care includes a monthly injection schedule and a schedule for injections every 2 months.
 

Surrey Heartlands ICB have developed the LCS to enable stable patients with schizophrenia to be prescribed and administered these injections through their primary care prescriber (GP). 

If a practice has not signed up to the LCS the drug remains as RED status and prescriptions will be issued by the provider.

03 May 17 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
GENERIC Aripiprazole has been considered by the PCN and has been assigned a BLUE traffic light status.

NOTE - the branded product, Abilify, was considered BLACK at the PCN in May 2017.
