Lincolnshire Opioids Minimum Standards

Opioids are high-risk medications and so a robust process is needed to safely manage repeat prescribing.  These minimum standards have been created by bringing stakeholders together from across the system with the aim of improving opioid stewardship. 

General practices vary in their processes, staffing and prescribing rates therefore one procedure would not suit all practices.  The minimum standards aim to support general practices to create a local procedure that works for their situation and population.
