Questions have been asked as to whether or not it is acceptable for a registered or unregistered healthcare professional (HCP) to prepare and/or administer contrast to an individual that has been supplied by a Radiographer (or Speech and Language Therapist) under a Patient Group Direction (PGD).
For general principles of PGD use for the administration of contrast media see Patient Group Directions (PGDs) for administration of contrast media in radiology services and exemplar PGD templates
The legality of this preparation and/or administration will depend on the route of administration, the process being followed and the legal status of the contrast agent.
