Shared Care Agreement Apomorphine For use in Parkinson’s DiseaseShared Care Agreement • February 14th, 2017
This 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 feels that undertaking the roles outlined in the shared care agreement is outside their area of expertise or have clinical concerns about the safe management of the drug in primary care, then he or she is under no obligation to do so. In such an event, 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. Sharing of care assumes communication between specialist, GP and patient.
