We prescribe according to a formulary with our local hospital and Primary Care Trust (PCT). We are required by Bournemouth & Poole PCT to keep within budget whilst maintaining quality prescribing and work to provide the best use of our prescribing monies

In 2006/7 we spent about £1,500,000 on prescription drugs which was almost exactly within our budget.

Long Term Prescriptions

• We will monitor the dose and appropriateness of medicine required long term.

• Your doctor will do this using your records and may ask you to attend for review from time to time, and sometimes will need to perform a blood test

Avoiding Mistakes

• To maintain quality prescribing we will not accept telephone requests.
