Depo Provera PGD
Depo Provera Patient Group Direction (PGD) Somerset ICB has produced a new PGD for Depo Provera which is now available on the Somerset ICB Medicines Management Web Page under the heading ‘Shared Care & PGD’ .
If you wish to use this PGD in your practice, please visit the PGD Web Page to download it and complete the declaration on page 2. If you haven’t done so already, you should ensure that you remove all old copies from circulation and archive them for your records because they are no longer valid.
It should be noted that the new PGD is significantly different to previous versions. Please take the time to read the document, ensure that your practice is up to date and that you are competent to work under the new PGD. The document contains links to the most recent Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health (FSRH) guidance on progesterone only injectables and other useful guidance that nurses working under the PGD should ensure that they are familiar with.
