  • Ensure the patient’s consent form is properly completed and signed.
  • Double-check the ICD11 code for accuracy.
  • Provide detailed clinical information to support the need for the unregistered medicine.
  • Clearly explain why registered alternatives cannot be used.
  • Include all required supporting documentation to avoid delays.
  • Follow up on your application if you don’t receive a response within 48 hours, as Named Patient applications are typically processed urgently.
