Welcome to the Surrey Heartlands Joint Formulary & Prescribing Advisory Database (PAD).
The formulary comprises a list of medicines that have been approved by the Surrey Area Prescribing Committee and/or the Trust Drugs and Therapeutics Committee (DTC) for prescribing within the Trust.
The purpose of the formulary is to ensure evidence-based and cost-effective prescribing and provide information relating to drug use. All prescribing from within the Trust (i.e. in-patient, out-patient and FP10 prescribing) must comply with the formulary.
Advice given to GPs with regard to drug treatment options must also be in line with the Trust formulary and Primary care recommendations. This will be monitored on an ongoing basis.
Formulary information is be available for each Trust within Surrey Heartlands, and for Primary Care.
Other information available includes:
- Surrey wide traffic light status
- Links to relevant:
- NICE / national guidance
- SPCs
