Shared care is a term used within the NHS to describe the situation where a specialist doctor wishes to pass some of the patient’s care, such as prescription of medication, over to their general practitioner (GP). This is something that can be requested but the guidance for all medications is that this may only be done if the GP agrees. The GP will need to consider a number of factors to decide if this is safe.
Shared care is an important aspect of care that we are hearing from practices is causing increased tension and pressure at present.
Dr Laura Edwards, CEO, and Dr Will Howard, Medical Director, bring us up to speed on Wessex LMCs guidance which you can find here: https://www.wessexlmcs.com/understanding-shared-care-nhs-right-to-choose-and-private-providers/
