Information for those pharmacies registered to provide the Supervised Disulfiram Service:

Historically within GGC, pharmacies have been paid per supervision of Disulfiram, which made claiming complicated and cumbersome. On 1^st July 2020, the Pharmacy Contractors Committee agreed to a £15 single monthly payment for Disulfiram patients. A patient needs to attend once or more for Disulfiram supervision in a calendar month or have instalment dispensing specified on their prescription without supervision. Communicating any concerns, for example a missed dose/collection, promptly (within 24 hours) remains the most important part of the service.

The NEO alcohol module should be used for:

Recording/reporting a missed dose of Disulfiram (within 24 hours), the system will send an automated email to the team for you. No further doses should be supplied/supervised until the team has advised to do so.
Monthly paper free Disulfiram claims.

Please email ggc.adrs.pharmacyteam@nhs.scot with any queries.
