How this individual concern was interpreted

PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. Response links show a clear evidence connection; they do not assign responsibility.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Limited review of long-term opiate prescribing

Wider context from the report

“THE INQUEST HEARD EVIDENCE THAT Louise Rosendale had been prescribed opiates for many years despite the risks associated with long term opiate prescribing. The evidence before the inquest was that there had been very limited attempts to review the long term prescribing of opiates to her. The inquest was told that she had been identified as a patient on a long term opiate prescription in 2022. The next action had been a pharmacy review in July 2024.There was no evidence of long term detailed planning or oversight of these patients within the practice ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate review of long-term medication use.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Resource constraints limited the practice’s ability to undertake more proactive, structured opioid reviews.

Verbatim wording from the response

“On reflection, several areas have been identified where care could have been improved. Earlier identification of risks associated with long-term high-dose opioid use may have prompted more timely interventions. Greater patient involvement in decision-making could have supported shared understanding and safer management plans. There was limited external input from specialist services in reviewing ongoing opioid prescribing, and an absence of a formal monitoring framework meant that risk mitigation strategies were not consistently applied. Resource constraints also impacted the ability to implement more proactive, structured reviews. Opportunities were missed for more proactive monitoring of opioid use, supported by a clear and structured communication protocol across the clinical team.”

PFD Monitor interpretation

Structured medication reviews for opioid patients are limited by PCN clinical pharmacist capacity under the DES contract.

Verbatim wording from the response

“Since October 2020, there has been a requirement, as part of the PCN Direct Enhanced Service (DES) contract, for GP practices to proactively identify and prioritise for structured medication review (SMR) patients using one or more potentially addictive medications from the following groups: opioids; gabapentinoids; benzodiazepines; and Z-drugs. However, the PCN DES also states that the number of SMRs that a PCN is required to offer will be determined and limited by their clinical pharmacist capacity.”
