ORGANISATIONAL AUTHORISATIONS AND OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The PGD is not legally valid until it has had the relevant organisational authorisations.
To ensure compliance with the law, organisations must add local authorisation details i.e.
clinical authorisations and the authorising organisation. Complete details below or use format
agreed according to local policy.
Name
Job title and
organisation
Signature
Date
Senior doctor
Senior pharmacist
Senior representative of
professional group using
the PGD e.g. Lead
Contraception /Sexual
Health Nurse
Person signing on behalf of
authorising body
e.g. Director of Public
Health on behalf of a local
authority or a clinical
governance lead on behalf
of an NHS Trust.
It is the responsibility of the authorising organisation to ensure that all legal and governance
requirements are met.
To meet legal requirements, organisations must add an Individual Practitioner Authorisation
sheet or List of Authorised Practitioners. This varies according to local policy and how the
service is managed but this should be a signature list or an individual agreement.
PGDs do not remove inherent professional obligations or accountability. It is the
responsibility of each professional to practice only within the bounds of their own
competence and in accordance with their own Code of Professional Conduct. Individual
practitioners must declare that they have read and understood the Patient Group Direction
and agree to supply/administer medicines listed only in accordance with the PGD.
ORGANISATIONS MAY ALSO ADD:
