Ordering Schedule 2 and 3 CDs

                 It is a legal requirement that healthcare professionals purchasing Controlled
                 Drugs in Schedule 2 and 3 use a mandatory Requisition Form (FP10CDF)



















































                 It is a legal requirement that the requisition form is signed by a GMC
                 registered doctor, this cannot be delegated to another member of
                 staff. The signing GP should be informed to the relevant wholesales
                 so they have copies of the signatures on file. I always recommend
                 you keep copies of your issued requisition forms for a period of time
                 just incase there is a query. You would never issue another should one
                 be mislaid so having copies could be useful. Just a few months will do.
                 Hopefully the information in this article has refreshed some of your
                 knowledge on CDs and answered some common questions.
                 I would encourage you all to review your SOPs relating to CDs and to
                 consider your policies with regarding to repeat prescribing.
