Narrative
06 December 2023
Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC) approves bimekizumab as a treatment option in line with the recommendations made in NICE TA918, for treating axial spondyloarthritis.

Bimekizumab for this indication will be considered as RED on the traffic light system (treatment should be initiated and continued by specialist clinicians).

Primary care prescribers should ensure that patient medication records include any medicine for which prescribing remains the responsibility of secondary or tertiary care. This will ensure that GP records, which are accessed by other healthcare providers, are a true and accurate reflection of the patient's medication.

Treatment pathway is available on separate guidelines page.
