Shared Care Protocols

The management of patients with some conditions can be complicated, and as a result it may not be possible to fully discharge patients from hospital back to the care of their General Practitioner (GP). Therefore, a system of Shared Care encompassing primary and hospital out-patient care is appropriate. You can access the list below for those medicines that have an agreed Shared Care Protocol within Cardiff and Vale UHB.

Shared care supporting documents:

• General Guidance
• List of shared care protocols
• Consultant request letter to GP for shared care or near patient testing (NTP)
• Shared Care Incident Report Form
• Letter to GP – To confirm patient is stable on shared care drug
