Committee Recommendations (1)

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.
