What are Respiratory PGDs?
A Respiratory PGD is a formal clinical framework that allows pharmacists to supply and administer respiratory medications—most commonly Salbutamol inhalers—to patients without an individual prescription. These PGDs are vital for providing "rescue" medication to asthma and COPD sufferers who may have run out of their usual supply, as well as providing a private route for ongoing management and preventer therapy.
By using Deltera’s Respiratory PGD library, your pharmacy moves into the space of chronic disease management with high-standard clinical governance. The platform doesn't just authorize the supply; it guides the pharmacist through essential safety checks, such as checking for overuse of relievers or poor asthma control. This ensures your service isn't just a transaction, but a professional clinical intervention that is fully audited, timestamped, and "inspection-ready" for the GPhC.or's prescription. As public health initiatives move toward "Making Every Contact Count," having a robust clinical PGD in place is essential for pharmacies looking to provide a professional, private alternative to traditional NHS stop-smoking services.
FAQs
How do Respiratory PGDs improve patient safety?
Unlike manual paper systems, a digital PGD pharmacy platform like Deltera forces clinical checks. It requires pharmacists to record peak flow or control scores, ensuring that patients with worsening symptoms are identified and referred back to their GP when necessary, rather than simply being supplied medication.
Can I use these PGDs for emergency supplies?
Yes. While many pharmacies use these PGDs for private consultations, they are a robust way to manage and record the supply of inhalers in urgent situations. The platform ensures that all legal requirements are met and the patient's regular doctor is notified immediately.
Are these PGDs updated if clinical guidelines change?
Absolutely. All Deltera PGDs are managed by our Clinical Governance Board. If there are updates to the British Thoracic Society (BTS) or SIGN guidelines, we update the PGDs in real-time across your entire estate so your team is always practicing with the latest evidence.
Does the platform support inhaler technique checks?
Yes. Deltera is a unified clinical platform designed to add value. The respiratory workflow includes prompts for inhaler technique assessments, allowing you to record these interventions as part of the patient's clinical record and demonstrate the high quality of your service.
