Oh Cathy- thoughts and prayers. π€£
Our black bin is every three weeks now so itβs a catastrophe if you forget!
Yep I uncovered some grim things when I wrote the RCGP RPS repeat prescribing toolkit & more now we are seeing practices do the self assessment but doubt the answer is AI or non doc/ non pharmacists taking it over. I think the answer could be better tech to flag risk/over supply etc. complex stuff π€
βRelatively low risk medicinesβ - low risk until you give them to the wrong person, in the wrong strength or with the β wrongβ co morbidities. Crikey!
This was one of my highlights in the @auralapothecary.pharmsky.app almanac. Itβs and incredible example of science over adversity and such a big deal for womenβs health. Well done Denmarkπππππ
