Head of Service -Substance Misuse - for First Contact Clinical in South Tyneside has asked us to remind pharmacies to let the service know on 0191 4274505 (single point of contact number) if the client has missed 2 days. This will ensure that as much can be done as possible to prevent the missing of the 3rd day...and the need for subsequent re-titration.
In addition she has asked us to remind pharmacists to contact the service if they notice a change in physical or mental health of a client. It is really important to do this to ensure that the patient can be "picked up" before potentially serious harm occurs.
