Narrative
03 June 2020
Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
At the Surrey and North-West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) held in June 2020, it was decided that all BLACK status drugs would have their review dates extended for 5 years without the need for a review.
If a clinician or provider wishes to change the traffic light status of any BLACK drug then they will need to submit a paper for change as per usual APC process.
06 February 2019
Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
The Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) does not recommend minocycline as a treatment option for acne and a BLACK traffic light status is recommended. (NB: Not recommended for use in any health setting across Surrey and NW Sussex health economy)
