Sunday rota today. First four scripts(for one pt) are diamorphine 10 and 30 mgms, buscopan amps and midazolam amps. We had the midazolam and diamorphine 10mg. Dose was 200mgm by s/d over 24 hours. Any ideas is this usual.? Pts son said mother not expected to last out the day.

Script for minims dexamethasone every hour. we had one box of 20. i do wish hospitals would not discharge pts just before a bank holiday with insufficient meds/dressings to cover.

Cd script for methadone. However, instructions said start on 27th. Supply to be on 25th(ie Friday), 31st, (ie Wed). no instructions to supply on 27th.

Was beginning to despair, then found that we had supplied two days on 24th (Sat and Sun). At last penny dropped, supply for 27th should have been made on 25th. User just come in late.

I supplied.

Several CD Drs seem to have forgotten today was Bank Holiday.
