Under Review — this page was due to be reviewed by 31 March 2024. The information shown here may be outdated.

The service coordinates supplying dressings to local GP Practices and Community Nursing. Where appropriate, the service ensures that supplied items are on the dressing formulary. The service can send bulky dressing items directly to a patient's home. 

GP Practices should submit orders with NHS Supply Chain using the CCG Account Details. Accelerate CIC review and authorise orders.
