Provenance
Created by SPS, the National Ambulance Service Medical Directors (NASMeD) and the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (JRCALC), for medicines commonly supplied or administered within ambulance services commissioned by NHS England.
Planned Review
The current tranexamic acid PGD template expires at the end of April 2026. The clinical conditions to be treated with tranexamic acid are currently under review by JRCALC. Once the JRCALC guidance has been approved, the PGD template will be updated. It is expected that the updated PGD template will be submitted to the SPS Programme Board in April 2026 for consideration and, if approved, published before the end of April 2026.
