What this protocol permits

Read from the signed protocol — an excerpt for reference, not advice. The medicine to be supplied is quoted verbatim (every word checked against that PDF); scope and legal category are read from it. Quantity is deliberately not reproduced here — the full protocol sets the quantity, inclusion criteria, exclusions and endorsement rules; follow the complete document issued to your pharmacy.

Feeds and calendars follow our twice-daily scheduled checks of the sources — they are not live. See privacy for what a sign-up stores.

Dates are as stated in the source documents. Where a protocol's announcement post and the NHSBSA register disagree, the register wins and the conflict is flagged. Serious Shortage Protocols are archived back to 2019.
