1 Homely Remedies Procedure 1. Statement Homely remedies are an important part of medicines management and each home should make these available to Residents for minor and self -limiting ailments where it is appropriate to do so and approved by the Residents GP. 2. Background A homely remedy is a product that can be obtained, without prescription, for the immediate relief of a minor, self-limiting ailment. Only Medicines listed within the formulary within this procedure can be held in stock and only these medicines can be used as such. 3. Procedure Prior to administering any homely remedy, each Resident s GP is required to approve the list of homely medicines for each Resident. Once approved, a homely remedy can be administered to that Resident for 48 hours without calling the GP. Homely remedies are obtained from the homes regular pharmacy supplier and held by the care home as stock. They are intended for use by the Residents only and are not for staff use. 4. Ordering Homely Remedies Homely remedies are obtained from a community pharmacy (usually the preferred pharmacy supplier for the home) and the pharmacy will invoice the home for the cost of these medicines. All products must be supplied in their original packs since this will have the information on the manufacturers label to indicate: The recommended dose of the medicine The strength of the medicine Any warnings or contra-indications Any side effects The expiry date 5. Homely remedy agreement Homely remedies cannot be given to a resident unless the Resident s GP has previously agreed to the use of these medicines for that specific Resident. A homely remedy agreement must be kept in the care file for each Resident.
2 6. Receipt and storage The receipt of homely remedies should be recorded on a homely remedies control sheet with a running balance maintained at all times. Homely remedies are held as stock supplies in the care home and should be stored separately from other prescribed medicines within a locked cupboard/ box in the medicines room and the cupboard /box clearly labelled as Homely Remedies. This is essential to prevent them being mixed up with residents prescribed medicines. Access to homely remedies should be restricted to team members with designated medicines management responsibilities. 7. Administration and Documentation of Homely Remedies In the event that a Resident presents with a minor ailment (pain, fever, constipation, cough, sore throat, diarrhoea), the person designated may administer a homely remedy if the following criteria are met: The Home has a signed agreement from the residents GP to approve their use for that Resident. The Resident s condition is minor and self-limiting. The Resident is not already taking another medicine that may interact with or contraindicate the homely remedy. The Resident is not allergic to the homely remedy. The Resident has not received the homely remedy on a regular basis i.e. for more than 2 days. Then the staff member must when administering the medicine: Check the patient information leaflet for the correct dose. Check the patient isn t already prescribed the medicine on the MAR Chart to prevent accidental overdose. Administer the medicine and document accordingly, using the relevant documents-control sheet / MAR chart / care plan. Administration of homely remedies must be recorded at the time of administration on a homely remedies control sheet (example shown below) in addition to recording it on the MAR sheet. A separate control record sheet must be kept for each homely remedy. The record of administration must include: Name, Strength and Dose of homely remedy given The name of the person administering The time of administration The request from the Resident, the decision to administer and the exact medicine and dose given should also be recorded in the Resident s care plan. Any on-going requests should be monitored and any referral to the GP must also be recorded.
3 If the medicine is required for more than 48 hours or the resident is requesting the medicine frequently, i.e. more than twice a week, a referral must be made to the GP to review the Resident s medicine and consider if this or an alternative should be supplied on a prescribed basis. 8. Disposal of Homely Remedies Unopened homely remedies must be disposed of when they are out of date. Once homely remedies have been opened, the date should be annotated on the bottle/ box and the remaining product disposed of within normal timescales as for all other medicines. Disposal must be recorded on the homely remedies administration control sheet. Follow the Disposal of Medicines Procedure. 9. Responsibilities The Home Manager or Designated Person in Charge has the responsibility for ensuring that all colleagues are aware of the procedures and precautions to be taken during the administration and use of homely remedies. 10. onitoring Compliance and Effectiveness Compliance with this procedure will be monitored by the Home Manager/ Designated Person in Charge to ensure that appropriate risk assessments and care plans are completed and actioned accordingly. Any Issues relating to non-compliance with this procedure will be taken seriously, with incident forms and an investigation undertaken with clear actions identified. Equality Impact Assessment All Staff, contractors and third party partners are required when following this procedure to ensure that they do not disadvantage any person or group on the grounds of race, religion or belief, age, sex, gender reassignment, disability, sexual orientation and/or caring responsibilities.
