Local Guidelines

This section provides examples of local treatment/shared care guidelines. These are usually produced in order to create a clear medico legal structure within which practitioners can work with confidence. They are meant purely as illustrations. It is not intendeded that these guidelines should be replicated in their entirity by other areas, as guidelines need to be developed in the light of local need and history. However we hope they are of use in terms of giving a feel for the kind of content and structure involoved.
