Narrative

Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
The PCN supported the principles of switching from brand to generic medications (not recommended in the elderly) as per national guidelines in September 2013 and the proposed place in therapy of the anti-epileptic drugs which is based on NICE guidance was also discussed at that time. Transfer of care documents will be considered at a future PCN.
