FiledJanuary 23rd, 2019This shared care agreement outlines suggested ways in which the responsibilities for managing the prescribing of the drug treatment and clinical indication listed in the table below can be shared between the specialist and general practitioner (GP). GPs are invited to participate. If GPs are not confident to undertake these roles, then they are 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.
