Records for Schedule 2 Controlled Drugs must be kept in a ‘register’ [these are available to purchase from Surelines Limited via this Order form for Controlled Drug register ]. The register must be bound and contain individual sections or pages for each Schedule 2 drug.It is not currently lawful in primary care to ONLY compile the records required under the Misuse of Drugs Act electronically. Where records are kept electronically, full hard copy records must also be kept in a statutory compliant paper register.
A separate register or section of a register must be used for what the Regulations describe as each class of drugs. A class is any of the drugs specified together with its salts and stereoisomers and also includes preparations containing these drugs. The class of drugs to which any page of a register relates must be given at the head of the page.
Details of all Schedule 2 Controlled Drugs purchased or obtained should be entered on the date of receipt in the purchasing section of the register.
An entry must be made in the sales or supply section of the controlled drugs register on the date a prescription is dispensed to the patient or their representative or personally administered to the patient.
