MMP55 Medicines Management in the Health Based Places of Safety(HBPoS)
A person may be detained for up to 36 hours in Health Based Places of Safety (HBPoS). During this time, the person may require medication that is critical to their health.
The guidance in this procedure will ensure that a ‘Required Medicines Review’ be carried out for all persons detained under section 135/136 of the Mental Health Act.
It will support Trust staff with processes relating to medicines reconciliation, assessment and review, prescribing, ordering, supply and administration of ‘Time Critical Medicines’.
