Services Database Supply of Dressing to Nursing Homes
Service ID
99140
Description
The purpose of this service is to enable nursing homes to obtain dressings required in the treatment of their residents to be obtained directly from a participating community pharmacy without the need for a prescription to be supplied by the patient's GP.
This service is available to all patients resident in a nursing home located within the NHS Sefton area and registered with a GP located in the NHS Sefton area. All participating pharmacies and nursing homes utilising this service will be provided with a formulary of dressings.
When a dressing is required, the nursing home will provide the supplying pharmacy with a patient-specific requisition. The pharmacy will supply any dressings ordered by the home as if they were prescribed on an FP10 GP prescription subject to conditions.
