What is the process for requesting controlled drugs from the gp for resident?

To request controlled drugs for a resident from a general practitioner (GP), the authorized caregiver or healthcare professional must first assess the resident’s medical needs and ensure that the request aligns with their treatment plan. Next, they should prepare a detailed medication request, including the resident's medical history and specific drug requirements. This request is then submitted to the GP, who will evaluate it and determine if a prescription is warranted. If approved, the GP will issue a prescription that can be filled at a pharmacy.
