AREA OF RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE SHARING OF CAREShared Care Agreement • February 1st, 2019
This shared care agreement outlines suggested ways in which the responsibilities for managing the prescribing of methotrexate for inflammatory bowel disease can be shared between the specialist and general practitioner (GP). GPs are invited to participate. If the GP is not confident to undertake these roles, then he or she is under no obligation to do so. In such an event, the total clinical responsibility for the patient for the diagnosed condition remains with the specialist. If a specialist asks the GP to prescribe this drug, the GP should reply to this request as soon as practicable.
