I refuse to have any meds other than basic FA. I will ensure that when administering the usual Flu vaccines that I have an up to date signed copy of Patient group Directives If this is of any help Kind Regards Jane From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of marj and peter dawsonSent: 02 October 2008 08:01To: [log in to unmask]: [OCC-HEALTH] Administration of medicines Good morning list I have previously worked for many years in the NHS where the administration of medicines was governed by Patient Group Directions. I have recently moved to a food manufacturing plant where it appears to be the norm to administer medications like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. I would appreciate any advise as to whether this is an acceptable practice and what is required as regards the nursing team being covered to do this.
