Palliative

We stock injectable morphine and oxycodone at Christchurch, Marksbury Road and 168 Medical Practice. They are not stocked in the cars. Please write in capitals at the top of your triage notes if you anticipate that injectable morphine or oxycodone are going to be needed for a home visit. This will alert the clinical coordinator and operational colleagues to make the required arrangements.

There is a clear process for removing controlled drugs from treatment centres to take on home visits. This can be found on the toolkit HERE.
