Supervised Consumption

What is supervised consumption?

When a GP prescribes medication to a patient, the prescriber has a duty of care. When consuming a medicine which is considered high-risk, the prescriber must consider the safety of the patient. Drug missuse is a current issue facing the health of the general public. Supervision of high-risk medication reduces the risk of harm to the patient, their family and the general public.
