Patient Group Directions Yorkshire and the Humber
Please note: All practitioners who are competent in hepatitis and typhoid vaccine assessment and delivery, should ensure they have read and have self-declared as competent in the separate Typhoid and Hepatitis A PGDs.
As with all PGDs, these PGDs must have organisational authorisation in place under Section 2 of the template, in order to be legally valid documents.
Patient Group Directions (PGDs) provide a legal framework that allows some registered health professionals to supply and/or administer specified medicines to a pre-defined group of patients, without them having to see a prescriber (such as a doctor or nurse prescriber).
Supplying and/or administering medicines under PGDs should be reserved for situations in which this offers an advantage for patient care, without compromising patient safety. The PGDs that can be accessed via this page have been authorised by NHS England for use in/by services commissioned within South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire and the Humber.
PGD templates listed on the PHE imms.gov.uk website must not be used as these have not been authorised and are therefore not legal documents.
You can read more about PGDs on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) website.
