Committee Recommendations (3)
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee has agreed the length of prescribing of anti-psychotics by the specialist team at Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as:
Mental Health specialist initiation and prescribing for at least 1 month and until the patient is stabilised on treatment prior to transfer of care to primary care.
Where a stabilised patient requires a simple, non-complex and non-urgent dose adjustment, this can be managed in primary care on recommendation by the specialist team.
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee agreed the updated resource pack for use by primary care prescribers for managing non-cognitive symptoms in people living with dementia.
