Services Database Supervised Administration (Southampton Area)

This service aims to:

• Provide a coordinated community pharmacy response to the needs of people with dependant use
  of drugs.
• To ensure compliance with the patients agreed care plan by:
   dispensing medication in specified instalments (doses may be dispensed for the patient to take
  away to cover days when the pharmacy is closed),
   ensuring each supervised dose is correctly consumed by the patient for whom it was intended
  to minimise over usage or under usage of medicines
   ensuring the patient only attends the pharmacy designated on the prescription
