Hi Tony,
I found your replies very helpful. I believe that there should be a clear distinction between prescriber and supplier basically because I know how difficult it is to recommend the best thing in the circumstances when something else will have a very similar effect but give a higher profit/reward/points. I was wondering how you handle this aspect of pharmacy prescribing.

I have heard of another pharmacist who is a supplementary prescriber and does a lot of methadone. If the prescribing is according to a clinical management plan does that mean that there is no need for a clinical check and that an accuracy check will suffice?

If you were an independent prescriber would this be different or could you be confident that you knew what you were doing and keep adequate records to cover yourself?


Regards,

Paul
