Trust Formulary

SASH / CCG Joint Prescribing Formulary

The SASH/CCG Joint Prescribing Formulary contains a comprehensive list of approved drugs for prescribing as ratified & integrated by 2 main committees (SASH Drugs and Therapeutics Committee and Local CCG Commissioning Prescribing Clinical Network [PCN] (representing 8x CCGs & 5x Acute NHS Trusts across the Health Economy). The formulary contains links to shared care guidelines, updated NICE TAGs and the newer agents are colour-coded in a Traffic Light System to reflect prescribing & reimbursement status.

All prescribing from within the Trust (i.e. inpatient and outpatient) must comply with the Formulary. Advice given to GPs regarding drug treatment options must also be in line with the SASH Formulary
