Committee Recommendations (3)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee has agreed the reviewed and updated IBD immunomodulator pathway, which is to be found on the IBD guidelines page.

The PCN recommends the sequential use of TNF alpha inhibitors (adalimumab, infliximab or golimumab) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis prior to a switch to vedolizumab.

Adalimumab, Infliximab and Golimumab are payment by results excluded drugs and will be considered RED on the traffic light system.

Gastroenterology specialists will be required to complete blueteq initiation and continuation forms for the commissioners.

The PCN recommend the use of Adalimumab, Golimumab, Infliximab and Vedolizumab in line with NICE guidelines and a treatment pathway has been developed with local gastroenterologists.
