We do NOT prescribe sedatives for patients undergoing radiological procedures e.g. CT scans or MRI scans
Patients often ask if we can prescribe sedatives prior to radiological procedure e.g. CT scans or MRI scan.
It is NOT safe for GP practices to prescribe sedatives for patients.
Safe and effective analgesia and sedation should be delivered by an appropriately trained and credentialed team with good access to anaesthetics, pre-procedure assessment, sedation plan and checklist, with appropriate monitoring and availability of resuscitation equipment and reversal agents.
