Hi All
So rather than a matter of legality it seems to come down to whether
the services of a pharmacist are available or not to sign the PGD off.
Wendy: as far as I know there is nothing inherently wrong with a GWI
(as long as it contains appropriate information) but my understanding
was that the NMC are promoting PGDs as best practice?
And don't get me started on ROI where it needs to be individual
patient prescription or a thing called a "medical protocol" which
needs a huge amount of clinical governence behind it if you want to go
for "group vaccinations".
Would any one be willing to share a sample GWI with me (off list if preferred?)
