Ensuring appropriate prescribing practices are adopted is one of the most important features of a healthcare professional’s day-to-day life.
Making this happen in practice is not easy, as healthcare professionals need to keep up to date with the latest research and best practice underpinning clinical prescribing choices.
Pharmacists occupy an interesting middle ground between clinical practice and research and, therefore, are uniquely placed to navigate the complex issues associated with appropriate prescribing practice, combining scientific knowledge with practical experience.
This podcast with Alastair Paterson, a neuro-disability pharmacist, provides a powerful insight into meeting the needs of children through age-appropriate prescribing practices, including:
- Effective dosing — how it applies in everyday life on the ward;
- Prescribing guidance — closing the evidence practice gap;
- Age-appropriate prescribing— adding value through formulation choice;
- Avoiding quick fixes — the challenges associated with tablet crushing and patch cutting; and
- Drug design — closing the loop between clinicians and drug companies.
