September supervisions will be funded by Unity, and October supervisions are to be funded by Recovery Steps.
Any prescriptions that have doses in both months the pharmacist will need to make two entries for the prescription, one on the Unity template for the September doses, and one on the Recovery Steps template for the October doses.

Service Level Agreement for Pharmacy Supervised Consumption
Service Level Agreement for Pharmacy Needle Syringe Provision
Our Needle Syringe Provision will be via Orion. They will be contacting the pharmacies to organise and going through the ordering process/subtle differences between products, waste collection arrangements etc. Like for like products will be provided but sometimes there are really subtle differences our service users can pick up on (e.g. 1ml Frontier plunger might not move as smoothly as a 1ml Orion product). Pharmacies will be able to order direct with Orion via their website. Pharmacies won’t have to wait until end of once a month to get orders – they can just order what they need when they need it.
