Hi Janet I am no longer working in the healthcare field, but when I did, the GUM would recharge the OH department. As these are a work-related incidents, the employee would never be expected to pay for their own consultations or treatments.

Due to the importance and complexities of prescribing PEP (post exposure prophylaxis), giving accurate and appropriate counselling to recipients needing it etc., I decided it was best to leave it to the experts i.e. make arrangements with your local hospitals' OH or A&E departments or GUM units. It is too important an area to rely on "hit and miss" delivery... as it is usually quite rare to need PEP (depending on type of services your staff provide) those who dispense it more often are better placed to deliver this service for you.

In particular, how would you manage the remote prescribing of PrEP (if indicated after a risk assessment)? My thoughts are that this needs to be a local service, but with an increase in agile working, and remote workers, I am looking to find ways to manage this remotely. There is a possibility of having one fixed site for a clinic/stock of PrEP but this would not always be supplied by the prescribing clinician; this could be worked around through a robust medicine management policy but the practicalities are still unclear. Does anyone have any relatable experience that they are willing to share? Many thanks in advance, Sarah Jones-Payne ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
