About the event

The event provided:

  • An update on national revised Health and Justice Information Services (HJIS) templates to support improved planning and recording of supplied medicines at the point of release or transfer.
  • A snapshot of the current data and plans to use the new template information to improve data quality and outcomes.
  • Information about a new Medicines Access Information Resource for prisoners and their key workers to help them access medicines using community NHS services post-release.
  • Good practice example using a new approach to improve the handling of medicines supplies and FP10s for prisoners released to court.

Why it’s important

The event provided a backdrop to a programme of work led centrally to support improvements in access to medicines at and after release and transfer. Attendees were able to use the information to review local processes and improve outcomes.

  2. How to support released detainees in navigating community services to access prescriptions and medicines support post-release
