Medicines used across Wirral Health Economy
Below is a list of medicines that are approved for use on Wirral. Some medicines may only be prescribed in hospital, others may be prescribed by your GP. The list is updated every time a new medicine is approved for use in Wirral. Some medicines have been recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The second column of the table below indicates recommendations made by NICE — eg, TA234 means that the medicine was reviewed in NICE technology appraisal number 234. Some of the medicines we use are recommended by specialists working from other hospitals e.g. Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. These medicines are included in our formulary — however; the prescriber retains responsibility for the appropriate use of these medicines. These formularies are obtainable here: Pan Mersey Formulary (For Walton Centre and Alder Hey) Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Formulary
