The law defines a series of offences, including unlawful supply, intent to supply, import or export (all these are collectively known as 'trafficking' offences), and unlawful production. The main difference from the Medicines Act is that the Misuse of Drugs Act also prohibits unlawful possession. To enforce this law the police have the special powers to stop, detain and search people on 'reasonable suspicion' that they are in possession of a controlled drug. The laws controlling drug use are complicated. The Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) regulates what are termed controlled drugs.
Unit 4222-331: Support use of medication in social care settings 1. Understand the legislative that governs the use of medication in social care settings * 1.1 Legislation that governs the use of medication in the social care setting includes: The Medicines Act 1968 - This Act brought about the concept of different types of drugs based upon their potential for harm if misused, or the harm of the condition for which they are used to treat. The three types of medication are: ‘Prescription Only Medications’ which can only be dispense from a pharmacy with a prescription signed by a doctor; ‘Pharmacy Only Medications’ which can be dispensed by a pharmacist without a prescription; and the ‘General Sales List’ which can be purchased in any stockists without any medical professional involvement. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (and further amendments) – This Act consolidated the commitments made by the UK after signing various international treaties such as The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) which covered older drugs such as Cocaine, Opium (and its derivatives), and Cannabis; The Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971) which covered the many new drugs that had become available during the 1960’s such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, psychedelics (such as Lysergic Acid Diethylamide), and new forms of amphetamine. The Act works by introducing three classes (and, later, a fourth in 2012) of substance that are illegal to possess or supply without proper medical authorisation (a prescription, or a licence for research or manufacture purposes).
1.1 Legislation: Health and Social Care Act; The Medicines Act and The Misuse of Drugs Act Guidelines could include the Nursing Midwifery Guidelines for the management of medicine administration - registered nurses have to abide by this set of guidelines and for paid carers, the General Social Care Council's Code of Conduct will have something which could relate to medication. Policy - for example - consider the Government's drive to ensure people with dementia are not over medicated - so their policy is currently designed to 'push' the professionals responsible for prescribing to bear in mind the effect of drugs on frail elderly people and to consider alternative treatments such as activities and therapies. Other examples of policy might be the Goverment's drive to limit the prescribing of antibiotics to reduce the incidence of resistant strains of bacteria. Protocols - a protocol is a procedure and you could outline your company's procedure (protocol) for disposing of controlled drugs or medication in general 2.1 Pick 3 medications - these could be taken from a copy of the British National Formulary (BNF) - any workplace which is administering medication ought to have a copy (relatively up to date!) on the premises.
