Homely Remedies SOP (S16)
Under normal circumstances, medicines should be administered either on the written prescription of an authorised prescriber, in accordance with the Medicines Code or under the authority of a Patient Group Direction. The Medication Optimisation Safety Team (MOST) has approved a list of non-prescription medicines or “homely remedies” that registered nurses and registered practitioners are authorised to administer at their own discretion, in accordance with the attached standard operating procedure, for a maximum of 48 hours (extended to 72 hours over a bank holiday weekend). The homely remedies approved are treatments commonly available over the counter for minor, short-term conditions without the need for a prescription or Patient Group Direction.
Controlled Drugs SOP for Community Hospitals (S47)
This series of Standard Operating Procedures ensures that all processes involving Controlled Drugs (CDs) carried out in Wards and Departments of Community Hospitals are conducted in strict accordance with current statutory requirements that adequate records are maintained and a robust audit trail exists. This includes security, ordering, receipt, administration, issue, balance checking, and return or destruction.
