Thank you to you Diane and all those who responded to my query regarding the above. Does anyone have any research to back up the subject re: the benefits of OHAs no longer handing out medication in the workplace, please? Thanks Anne Anne Bugler E-mail: [log in to unmask] _____ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Diane Romano-Woodward Sent: 08 April 2010 09:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: OHA giving medication Hello Anne and list There is an exemption in the medicines act which allows OH nurses to give out medication with a "medical direction" or similar- basically like a PGD but without a pharmacist involvement(but will need DR input.) If you don't want to provide this service, point out that it is not a good us of expensive OHN time, and persuade them to put a vending machine somewhere which wil be avaible 24 hours a day for the employees.. If they insist they want the service,(customer is king!) I suggest only provide it for a short period of the day e.g. a "drop in" for half an hour morning and afternoon. Contact me offline if you want to discuss further.. Cheers Diane _____ Get a new e-mail account with Hotmail - Free.
