Contract Type FiledJanuary 16th, 2015This Effective Shared Care Agreement outlines suggested ways in which the prescribing responsibilities can be shared between the specialist and 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’s health remains with the specialist. If a specialist asks the GP to prescribe, the GP should reply to this request as soon as practicable.
