The South East London Red, Amber, Grey (RAG) medicines list for adults - updated January 2020

Definitions and notes to accompany the RAG list

NON FORMULARY Drugs are included as a separate RAG list and shaded blue to guide prescribers regarding out of area requests. Requests for GPs to prescribe non-formulary drugs should be returned to the specialist and not prescribed in primary care. Inclusion of a drug on the RAG list does not confer that a drug is commissioned for use within SEL trusts, please refer to the SEL joint formulary.

Definition of RED • A consultant or suitably trained specialist (e.g. a specialist non-medical prescribing nurse) within the secondary, tertiary, or primary care clinic should initiate, continue to prescribe and monitor red listed drugs. • RED list drugs are NOT recommended for GPs to prescribe and responsibility for prescribing, monitoring, dose adjustment and review should remain with the specialist. In very exceptional circumstances a specialist may discuss individual patient need for a RED drug to be prescribed by a GP and the GP should consider informing the Medicines Management team before a decision is made to prescribe for individual patients. • Supply of these medicines should be organised through the hospital pharmacy or where appropriate a home care company. If it is necessary to supply on a FP10HNC (previously FP10HP), liaison with a nominated community pharmacy is recommended. • Medicines for specified indications included in the red list should only be prescribed subject to inclusion in the SEL Joint Medicines Formulary and funding being arranged at the individual acute Trust. Drugs that are not on the SEL joint formulary may be included on the red list to inform GPs where a request to prescribe has originated from a provider outside of SEL.

Criteria For Inclusion on the RED List • Patient receives the majority of ongoing care, including monitoring, by the specialist. • It is in the interest of the patient’s safety to receive the drug treatment through the specialist. • The drug is only available through the hospital. • The drug is unlicensed or being used for an unlicensed indication where there is a lack evidence or widespread medical acceptance by recognised reputed body e.g. not in BNF; NICE guidance or British Association of Dermatology special product list. • The drug is newly licensed or has a new indication, requiring specialist initiation and place in therapy or risks are uncertain. • SEL APC’s view that the drug is unsuitable for general prescribing. • Hospital recommend restricting prescribing to hospital only for clinical reasons. • Designated as hospital or specialist only in its licence or by DoH/MHRA/NICE. • Drugs subject to High-tech Hospital at Home guidance, EL(95)5

Definition of AMBER • Initiated by or at the recommendation of a specialist which includes consultant, suitably trained specialist non-medical prescriber or GP with specialist interest within a secondary, tertiary, or primary care clinic. • Where a patient remains under the care of a specialist, on-going communication is imperative. • Off-label use must be noted but is not an exclusion criteria where a body of evidence supports its use e.g. NICE. • Contact for specialist support must be explicit and easily accessible. • Timely re-referral routes are essential.

Categories of AMBER AMBER 1. Recommendation by a specialist, but is considered non urgent and therefore could be started in primary care at the discretion of the GP after the GP’s consideration. AMBER 2. Initiation by a specialist, stabilisation for a specified time, then continuation in primary care under an individual management plan. AMBER 3. As above, requiring shared/transfer of care document

Criteria For Inclusion on the AMBER List (number denotes which amber category as above, which this applies to)

• requires specialist assessment to enable patient selection and initiation of treatment¹ ˒²˒³. • requires short or medium term specialist monitoring of efficacy ²˒³. • requires short or medium term specialist monitoring of toxicity (difficulty in recognising or appropriateness/availability of investigations to identify toxicity) ²˒³. • are rarely used, such that individual GPs are unlikely to see sufficient patients and acquire a working knowledge of the drug² ˒³.

Definition of GREY • Medicines not normally recommended for routine prescribing. • Weak evidence of cost effectiveness, benefit and/or safety. • Drugs which the SEL APC consider do not represent good value to the NHS • Drugs where the formulary application is not presented to the NDP within the SEL APC specified timeframes.
