These guidelines include:

- whether supplements should be purchased by the patients and the exceptions where the prescribing of supplements is appropriate
- the signs and symptoms of nutritional deficiencies
- advice on the management of patients who have undegone privately funded surgery
The prescribing of vitamin and mineral supplements for other reasons is NOT recommended unless for a medically diagnosed deficiency. See Profile : Vitamins and minerals - Supplementation (res-systems.net) for further information.
