Enhanced Individual Care (including provision for supervised administration) for Medicines Other Than Opioid Substitution Therapy (Pilot – North Ayrshire Only) – please note SLA may be renewed as required with individual pharmacy locations to meet the needs of specific patients.
The aim of this service is to replicate the enhanced level of care and inter-professional communication currently available for Opioid Substitution Therapy treatment and extend it to apply to patients in receipt of other prescribed medications. There are a number of circumstances where an enhanced level of assessment, pharmaceutical care and communication between the prescribing service and community pharmacy would be of potential benefit to an individual’s wellbeing and safety. Requests for enhanced care are based on individual patient needs.
