The Art and Science of Prescribing

Prescribing is not just about writing prescriptions, our accountability as prescribers also covers reviewing, reducing and stopping medicines and any advice we give to patients. In addition there may be occasions where we need to help protect a patient’s medicines regime when it is unusual (for example, off label or high dose) but has been proven to be the safest and most effective approach for that patient, providing they are fully informed of the risks & have chosen this option.
