Consultations

We produce prescribing guidance and other medicines resources to help patients and healthcare professionals in Wales make sure that medicines are used effectively and appropriately.

Find out more in our Medicines optimisation section.

When we produce these resources, we think it's important that people who might be affected by them have a chance to tell us their views. We ask patients and carers, patient organisations, prescribers and other healthcare professionals to comment on the resources we're developing.

Input from patients is vital, because we're aiming to improve the care and treatment that you get.

We'd like your views on the resources we're currently working on, listed below. You don't need to comment on the whole document; only on parts that seem relevant to you.

Please select the document you would like to comment on from the list below, fill in our form and send it to us at: awttc@wales.nhs.uk.

Back-up antibiotic prescribing: Good practice guide (consultation): The aim of this document is to provide an All-Wales Good Practice Guide for the implementation of back-up prescribing strategies in primary and community care. It contains advice on when back-up prescribing should be considered, the strategies available and how this should be documented. Evidence supports the use of a back-up prescribing strategy as an antimicrobial stewardship tool and having a good practice guide would ensure that the strategy is more reliably implemented across Wales and that the information shared with patients is more consistent.
