Medicines Authorisation and Administration Records (MAARs)

To support safe use of MAAR charts across North East London, please ensure the following:

• Review the latest NEL MAAR update for resources and good practice guidance on the use of MAARs.

Update on Medicines Authorisation Records (MARs) or Medicines Authorisation and Administration Records (MAARs)

• Use the Pan-London Standardised Prescribing Sentences when completing MAAR charts to provide clear, consistent administration instructions for district nursing teams.  Pan-London Standardised Prescribing Sentences for MAAR Charts
• Use the current approved symptom control MAAR chart template (version 5): This is listed on GP clinical systems as “(RP) Pan-London Symptom Control MAAR Chart CEG v5.1”. Practices should review and archive older MAAR chart templates within their clinical systems and delete locally saved copies to reduce the risk of outdated MAAR charts being selected inadvertently.”
