A Controlled Drugs; Legislation Changes webinar was facilitated to provide information to our members following the recent announcement regarding regulatory changes to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 to allow paramedic independent prescribers to prescribe and administer, and direct others to administer, the following five controlled drugs: Morphine sulfate, Diazepam, Midazolam, Lorazepam, and Codeine phosphate.
The webinar is helpful for paramedic prescribers and their employers to understand the implications of prescribing controlled drugs, including safe, responsible and legal use of these medicines. The importance of deprescribing and using the relevant guidelines and good practice are also discussed. Controlled Drugs; Legislation Changes webinar on Vimeo
