💉 Injections

💷 How much is this worth to me?

This template supports accurate documentation and coding for a wide range of injections.

📊 High-level overview of the specification requirements

The template captures structured information needed for:

• Consent and suitability

• Route and type of injection

• Whether treatment is under PGD (Patient Group Direction) or PSD (Patient-Specific Direction)

• Local Enhanced Service compliance (where applicable)

It also helps practices identify where ongoing care is shared (e.g. with CMHTs for depot injections).

📌 What do you need to know?

The form includes several structured sections:

✅ Consent & Clinical Suitability

• Confirm patient consent

• Tick if PGD or PSD is in place

• Declaration confirming patient fit for procedure and side effects explained

💊 Hormone Injections and Implants

• Record:

  • Subcutaneous or intramuscular hormone antagonists

  • Gonadorelin analogue implant insertion

• Linked guidance: LES billing codes and PCIT support articles

🧠 Neuroleptic Depot Injections

• Record:

  • Who manages care (GP or CMHT)

  • Whether it’s a home visit

  • If the depot is for a patient from another practice

• Tick to confirm if a neuroleptic depot injection was given today

• LES guidance and recall advice included

💉 General Injections

Tick to document:

🧬 B12 Injections

• Options to record if:

  • B12 started

💡 Hints and Tips

• Check FP34D eligibility for personally administered drugs — this can trigger payment

• For shared care drugs, always record who’s responsible for prescribing and review

• If the injection is declined or postponed, document separately using the relevant template or SNOMED code

• Use this with HCA/clinician task lists to improve workflow safety
