Abstract
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published a guideline for using and managing controlled drugs safely in all NHS settings except care homes. The institute’s aims are to improve working practices, make sure they comply with legislation, and ensure robust governance arrangements are in place and reduce the safety risks associated with controlled drugs. The guideline includes recommendations on record keeping, risk assessment, reporting drug-related incidents, prescribing and administering, monitoring drug use, and developing systems for the destruction and disposal of controlled drugs.
