A frequently asked questions document - NHS Shared care and specialist guided prescribing service specification
Hertfordshire and West Essex (HWE) shared care documents are available on the Prescribing, Policies and Pathways (hweclinicalguidance.nhs.uk) website within the Shared Care, Decision Making & Advice and Guidance (hweclinicalguidance.nhs.uk) section. Shared care protocols may be HWE wide or place specific depending on service providers.
Some medicines in the NHS Shared care and specialist guided prescribing service specification have a prescribing support document in place as opposed to a shared care protocol. These are developed and updated with the input of both secondary and primary care clinicians and published on the Prescribing, Policies and Pathways (hweclinicalguidance.nhs.uk).
Please note that the current shared care template is being reformatted as requested to allow for patient, specialist, medication, and GP details to be at the beginning of the agreement, followed by the detail of the shared care guidance for that medicine. Existing approved shared care agreements will be updated to reflect this format change.
