3 1.0 Purpose 1.1 To promote the safe, secure and effective use of medicines to ensure patients get the maximum benefit from the medicines they need, while at the same time minimising potential harm. 1.2 To enable Registered Midwives to administer and supply a range of medicines to patients, without a medical prescription, in accordance with the schedule outlined in the appendices attached. (Appendix A, B, C and D) 1.3 To ensure that the Trust complies with the regulations that govern the administration and supply of medicines to patients in this Trust through the Medicines Act 1968, Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997 (the POM Order), the medicines (Pharmacy and General Sale Exemption) Order 1980, the Medicines (Sale and Supply) Regulations Equality and Diversity 2.1 Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust is committed to the provision of a service that is fair, accessible and meets the needs of all individuals. 3.0 Scope of Practice 3.1 This guideline should be read in conjunction with the Trust s controlled drugs policy (08083); Policy for the administration of medicines to inpatients of MEHT (08103), the Nursing and Midwifery Council s (NMC) documents, NMC Midwives Rules and Standards (2012), The Code: Standards of Conduct, performance and ethics for nurses and midwives (2008); NMC Standards for medicines management (2010) 3.2 This guidance is aimed at Registered Midwives that have an active Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration. 4.0 Medicines Legislation 4.1 The Medicines Act 1968 was introduced following the Thalidomide tragedy. 4.2 Medicinal products fall into one of three categories: (Refer to Appendix B) General Sale List Medicines (GSL) Pharmacy Medicines (P) Prescription only medicine (POM) 5.0 Methods of Supplying of administration of Medicines (Refer to Appendix A, B) Patient Specific Directions (PSD) Patient Groups Directions (PGD s) Midwives Exemptions Midwife Independent/Supplementary Prescribing 3
4 5.1 A patient specific direction (PSD) is a written instruction from a qualified and registered prescriber for a medicine including the dose, route and frequency or appliance to be supplied or administered to a named patient. Patient medicines administration chart Simple instruction in the patient s notes 5.2 Patient Groups Directions (PGD s) are specific written instructions for the supply or administration of a licensed named medicine to specific groups of patients. They are not a form of prescribing. (Refer to Appendix A) PGDs should only be used once the midwife has been assessed as competent and whose name is identified within each document (Refer to Appendix C) The administration of drugs via a PGD may not be delegated 5.3 The Prescription only Medicines (Human Use) Amendment Order 2000 (SI 2000/1917) modified the Medicines Act and allowing midwives to use PGD s. 5.4 Exemptions allow midwives to sell, supply and administer specific medicinal products directly to patient/clients. (Refer to Appendix B) 5.5 Midwives can supply and administer (but not sell): (Refer to Appendix A, B) All GSL medicines All P medicines Some POM s which includes some controlled drugs (CDs). 5.6 If the medicinal product to be supplied and/or administered is on the midwives exemption list a PGD is not required. 5.7 Exemptions are distinct from prescribing which requires the involvement of a pharmacist in the sale or supply of the medicinal product. 5.8 Exemptions also differ from the arrangements for Patient Group Directions (PGDs) as the latter must comply with specific legal criteria, be signed by a doctor or dentist and a pharmacist and authorised by an appropriate body. 6.0 Standards of Proficiency and Administration of Medicines (Refer to Appendix A for the PGD Schedule for specific authorised medicines in this Trust) 6.1 Before a midwife can use a PGD, he/she must be named and have signed the PGD documentation. This generally takes the form of signatures and names (on a list or individual forms) that are attached to the PGD itself or held by the service or organisation. (Refer to Appendix C) 6.2 Employees of NHS organisations authorising a PGD generally have indemnity attached to their status as an employee. 4
5 6.3 As a registrant, in exercising your professional accountability in the best interests of your patients the midwife should adhere to the following: Be certain of the identity of the patient to whom the medicine is to be administered Check that the patient is not allergic to the medicine before administering it Know the therapeutic uses of the medicine to be administered, its normal dosage, side effects, precautions and contra-indications Be aware of the patient s plan of care(care plan or pathway) Check that the prescription or the label on medicine dispensed is clearly written and unambiguous Check the expiry date (where it exists) of the medicine to be administered Consider the dosage, weight where appropriate, method of administration, route and timing and document on the once only medication section in capital letters Administer or withhold in the context of the patient s condition (i.e. digoxin not usually to be given if pulse below 60) and co-existing therapies, for example, physiotherapy Contact the prescriber or another authorised prescriber without delay where contraindications to the prescribed medicine are discovered, where the patient develops a reaction to the medicine, or where assessment of the patient indicates that the medicine is no longer suitable Clearly sign and print your name and designation in capital letters Document the drug within the once only medication section of the drug chart. This must be clearly written and in capital letters 6.4 The administration of drugs via a PGD may not be delegated. Students cannot supply or administer under a PGD but would be expected to understand the principles and be involved in the process 6.5 Where medication is already subject to exemption order legislation there is no requirement for a PGD. 6.6 Where medication is not given, the reason for not doing so must be recorded. 7.0 Record Keeping (Refer to the Guideline for Maternity Record Keeping including Documentation in Handheld Records ; register number 06036) (Refer to the NMC Guidance April 2010 record Keeping and the NMC Guidance April 2010 Standards for medicines management 7.1 Midwives are required to keep a record of supply, administration and disposal of all prescription-only medicines issued to them in the midwifery diary. 7.2 Midwives should ensure that records are accurate, comprehensive, timely and contemporaneous. All medicines administered must be recorded in the patient s healthcare records and treatment charts in accordance with local guidelines and the Supervisor of Midwives. 7.3 You must clearly countersign the signature of the student when supervising a student in the administration of medicines. 8.0 Storage and Transportation 8.1 Registrants must ensure all medicinal products are stored in accordance with the patient information leaflet, summary of product characteristics document found in dispensed 5
6 UK-licensed medication and in accordance with any instruction on the label. 8.2 Policies should be in place to ensure all storage environments meet the required standards and it is the responsibility of the registrant to check such policies are in place and are being adhered to. This is particularly important for medicines requiring storage within a limited temperature range, for example, refrigeration of vaccines when maintenance of the cold chain has to be considered. 8.3 There must be comprehensive arrangements for the security, storage and labelling of all medicines. When supplying under PGD, this should be from the manufacturer s original packs or over-labelled pre-packs so that the patient details, date and additional instructions can be written on the label at the time of supply. Registrants must not split packs. 8.4 Medicines are generally obtained from the hospital pharmacy. They are delivered to a designated area accessible by community midwives within the hospital to await collection. 8.5 During working periods non refrigerated medicines will be carried in the midwife s bag or a concealed place in the car avoiding temperature extremes. When not in use the bag must be locked in the car in a concealed position. At all other times the bag must be securely stored in the midwife s home in a secure locked fixture. 8.6 The Supervisor of Midwives has the responsibility for checking records for medicines within her area. 9.0 Disposal of Medicinal Products 9.1 A patient or their representative (who may be a registered nurse or midwife) should return unwanted prescribed medicinal products to a pharmacy for destruction to comply with the Controlled Waste Regulations (Refer to the Controlled drugs policy ; register number for the disposal of controlled drugs i.e. Morphine) 10.0 Implications for Student Midwives 10.1 Student midwives can supply or administer medicine against a PSD if they are supervised by a sign off mentor Student midwives can administer medicines on the exemption list, except controlled drugs, under the direct supervision of a midwife Only registered midwives can supply or administer medicinal products against midwife exemption orders. It can not be delegated to a student midwife Staffing and Training 11.1 All midwifery and obstetric staff must attend yearly statutory training which includes training and updates relating to PGD s. PGD guidance is available in all clinical areas located in the guideline folders and on the Trust s intranet In-house training is available for all midwives on an annual basis specifically related to medicines management and drug calculations. 6
7 11.3 Midwives should be familiar with the current guidance published in the British National Formulary, including the use, side effects and contra-indications of the medicines that you prescribe; available in clinical ward areas and via the intranet/ internet All midwifery staff are to ensure that their knowledge and skills remain up-to-date to enable the midwife to prescribe competently and safely; and in order to maintain and complete their portfolio for appraisal Infection Prevention 12.1 All staff should follow Trust guidelines on infection prevention by ensuring that they effectively decontaminate their hands before and after each procedure All staff should ensure that they follow Trust guidelines on infection prevention. All invasive devices must be inserted and cared for using High Impact Intervention guidelines to reduce the risk of infection and deliver safe care. This care should be recorded in the Saving Lives High Impact Intervention Monitoring Tool Paperwork (Medical Devices) Professional Midwifery Advocates 13.1 Professional Midwifery Advocates provide a mechanism of support and guidance to women and midwives. Professional Midwifery Advocates are experienced practising midwives who have undertaken further education in order to supervise midwifery services and to advise and support midwives and women in their care choices Audit and Monitoring 14.1 The risk management lead will review all risk event forms and complaints. Any immediate training or educational issues relating to lack of compliance with this guideline will be addressed on a one to one basis All incidents and trends analysis will be reviewed at the Maternity Risk Management Group meeting Audit of compliance with this guideline will be undertaken annually in accordance with the Maternity annual audit work plan. The Audit Lead in liaison with the Risk Management Group will identify a lead for the audit As a minimum, review of a minimum of 40 sets of health records will assess compliance with the guideline The findings of the audit will be reported to the Risk Management Group and an action plan developed to address any identified deficiencies. Performance against the action plan will be monitored by this group on a monthly basis A survey will be undertaken by the Lead Midwife for Guidelines and Audit, at least annually, to establish staff awareness of how policies should be accessed and the document management process. Any deficiencies identified will inform the staff training programme. 7
8 15.0 Guideline Management 15.1 As an integral part of the knowledge, skills framework, staff are appraised annually to ensure competency in computer skills and the ability to access the current approved guidelines via the Trust s intranet site Quarterly memos are sent to line managers to disseminate to their staff the most currently approved guidelines available via the intranet and clinical guideline folders, located in each designated clinical area Guideline monitors have been nominated to each clinical area to ensure a system whereby obsolete guidelines are archived and newly approved guidelines are now downloaded from the intranet and filed appropriately in the guideline folders. Spot checks are performed on all clinical guidelines quarterly Quarterly Clinical Practices group meetings are held to discuss guidelines. During this meeting the practice development midwife can highlight any areas for further training; possibly involving workshops or to be included in future skills and drills mandatory training sessions Communication 16.1 A quarterly maternity newsletter is issued to all staff with embedded icons to highlight key changes in clinical practice to include a list of newly approved guidelines for staff to acknowledge and familiarise themselves with and practice accordingly. Midwives that are on maternity leave or bank staff have letters sent to their home address to update them on current clinical changes Approved guidelines are published monthly in the Trust s Staff Focus that is sent via to all staff Approved guidelines will be disseminated to appropriate staff quarterly via .
