Shared Care Agreements

New Collegiate Medical Centre is committed to providing the highest quality care to our patients. As part of this commitment, we support the BMA’s advice on collective action.

After discussing this with neighbouring practices of what collective action would be more suitable, we have made the decision not to agree to prescribe specialist-initiated medication under a voluntary request of a shared care agreements for all hospital specialties. We believe that such medications should be prescribed by the hospital specialists who initiate them.

By taking this approach, we ensure that our patients receive these medications from the appropriate specialist who has in-depth knowledge of the treatment and can prescribe it in accordance with patient safety guidelines.
