Request for a New Medicine or Change in Regimen
Any NHS healthcare professional working within the East Lancashire Health Economy |
can request that the MMB considers an application to assess a new medicine, and |
prioritise it against other competing requests. |
Where a clinician is considering requesting an intervention for a patient that is not already |
commissioned, but this patient represents the first of many, this will be considered only |
as a Service Development. As such, the clinican should request the intervention for all |
patients, The process for applying for a medicine to be reviewed as a service development |
by the MMB can be found below with the application form for a 'New Product, or Change |
of Regimen' and guidance relating to the governance arrangements of documents |
submitted to East Lancashire Medicines Management Board. |
