4 6.2 Ordering Ward Stock and Non-stock Inpatient items Ordering Medicines Within wards and departments, medicines can conveniently be classified as either stock medicines in which case the supply is held by the ward for use on any patient as required or as named patient / non-stock medicines in which case the supply is labelled for, and may only be used by, a single named patient. Separate procedures are in place for each class of medicine Medicines For Stock There are three ways in which wards and departments are supplied with stock medicines: Pharmacy top-up: A system of supply in which pharmacy staff maintain ward or department stock levels in accordance with a stock list that is approved by the Ward or Department Manager. Ward staff will only rarely need to become involved in ordering stock medicines. Ward staff top-up: Ward staff complete the ward stock check and annotate on the ward stock-list the quantities required. This stock list is then sent down to pharmacy. Ad-hoc paper ordering: - Stock medicines are ordered in a ward requisition book, CHA49. The name, form, strength and quantity of each medicine must be PRINTED clearly. - When the order is complete, any remaining lines should be scored out. A Registered Healthcare Practitioner must then sign the order, and PRINT their name alongside. The pink copy of the order may be retained on the ward for checking purposes. - The requisition book should then be sent down to pharmacy by the ward staff, porter or ward pharmacist. - For bulk fluids use the bulk fluids requisition form. - For enteral feeds use the enteral feed requisition form. It is the ward s responsibility to provide pharmacy with an up to date list of authorised signatories for those staff that can order medicines Medicines for Named Patients - Named patient medicines may be ordered by any registered nurse on the JAC EPMA system by adding a **Order from Pharmacy** note to the drug that is required. - The non-stock orders will automatically be dispensed in pharmacy. - Items that are non-formulary or are designated as restricted in pharmacy may only be supplied after discussion with the ward or the prescriber. Page 3 of 4

5 6.2.4 Ordering Medicines for Discharge - When the discharge prescription has been completed and printed by the prescriber, nurses should check whether any of the patient s own medicines or named patient supplies are being held on the ward. - The printed TTA and any patient s own medicines should be given to the ward pharmacist, sent to pharmacy or the discharge team should be contacted. The pharmacy team will then assemble the discharge medicines as necessary. - When discharge medications are received on the ward well in advance of discharge they must be secured in a locked cupboard. If they include items requiring refrigeration, these should be placed in the medicine refrigerator with a note attached to the bag of remaining medicines. If they include controlled drugs these should be locked in the CD cupboard, recorded in the patient s own section of the ward controlled drug register, and booked out to the patient on discharge. - When the patient is actually discharged, the nurse should check that all prescribed items whether dispensed from Pharmacy or patient s own are in the bag (including refrigerated and CD items) or the patient has sufficient supply at home, and that the patient or carer knows how to take or administer them Obtaining Medicines Out Of Hours Supplies of medicines are held in a number of Emergency Medicine Cupboards located throughout the Trust. For details of their location and contents, see the Pharmacy pages of the intranet. The main emergency medicines cupboard at the Treliske site is at the end of the pharmacy corridor and includes a store of all essential antibiotics. Similar cupboards are available at SMH and WCH. In all other circumstances, the on-call pharmacist can be contacted through the switchboard at Treliske ( ) Obtaining Medicines from Other Wards or Departments Medicines should be borrowed from other wards or departments only when absolutely unavoidable. Controlled drugs may never be borrowed. It is an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act for one ward to supply another with stock of a controlled drug. In an emergency a patient may be administered a single dose of a controlled drug directly from any ward s stock. Please refer to the appropriate Controlled Drug SOP. Page 4 of 4
