Patient Group Directions [High Quality]
The aim of this elearning programme, which was developed by the NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS), is to support healthcare professionals and organisations who are considering, developing, authorising and using patient group directions (PGDs) to deliver healthcare services in line with legislation and NICE medicines practice guideline (MPG2).
Whether you are a commissioner or a provider, this programme can support you. It outlines the legislation and guidance supporting appropriate and legal PGD use; it considers when PGDs should not be used and which other legal mechanisms would be more appropriate. The learning signposts learners to a wealth of resources, including the SPS website which contains supporting guidance, answers to frequently asked questions and to relevant national guidance. Access it today to learn when PGDs can be used in practice as an appropriate mechanism to support the safe and timely supply and/or administration of medicines.
