Gabapentin & Pregabalin are now classed as Controlled drugs/ medicines;they are controlled under the Misuse of the Drugs legislation.
They will be prescribed in quantities of no more than 28 days due to stricter legal controls to prevent them: being misused, being obtained illegally and causing harm.

The North of Tyne Prescribing Committee has designated Dihydrocodeine a “Red Drug” because of the extent of the risk of misuse in the general population and GPs can no longer prescribe it.

Covid jab - Eligible cohorts – summary attached (vaccine dosing schedules)

We are now working within the updated JCVI and Greenbook guidance which includes the following updates to cohorts:

  • Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible for a booster, 3 months after their second dose
  • Patients who are severely immunosuppressed and who received a 3rd primary dose, are now eligible for a booster, 3 months after their 3rd primary dose – these patients are starting to become eligible now and so you will likely see in increase in this cohort at sites. Patients in this cohort should have a letter from their GP/Consultant that advised them of the need to get a 3rd primary dose, however eligibility for both a 3rd primary dose and subsequent booster can also be determined via assessment with a clinician on site. In pinnacle, these doses need to be recorded as a booster and it will appear as though the patient has had two boosters (3 months apart).
  • Healthy 12-15 year olds are eligible for a 2nd dose, 12 weeks after 1st (paeds pod or suitable trained clinician at site if walk in). To increase footfall at clinics next week, we are opening up Newcastle Racecourse to appointments and walk ins for eligible children aged 12-15 – on these days, paeds trained staff will be moved to work from the same pod where possible.

 

The JCVI have also recently approved covid vaccines for at risk children aged 5-11 (2 doses), as well as boosters for some 12-15 year olds. This guidance is not yet operational and is expected to go live in January 2022.
