The key principle is that the GP is provided with enough information to ensure that the transfer of prescribing or shared care is undertaken safely and given the opportunity to accept prescribing responsibility before the transfer takes place. The sole responsibility for on- going prescribing and monitoring will lie with the initiating MSK Service, if shared care arrangements are not agreed by the GP. The following conditions must be met before the shared care takes place:  The drugs are classified as suitable for shared care in the formularies and the responsibilities of all parties are clearly defined;  Treatment is in accordance with the effective shared care agreement; If there is disagreement about where prescribing of an individual patient’s treatment should best take place, the case should be referred to the CCG Medicines Management teams who will seek resolution between parties concerned. Disagreements over the principles of prescribing responsibility, not individual disagreements that are resolved case by case, should be resolved at the Area Prescribing Committee. Care should be taken to ensure that the patient does not suffer as a consequence and co-operation on both sides is sought in achieving resolution in difficult situations. Patient Education The Service should ensure that patients are fully informed of the risks and benefits of treatments recommended to them, and are counselled appropriately on how to use prescribed or recommended medicines.
