Medical errors are the second most common cause of patient safety
incidents and junior doctors are associated with more than half of
all errors - however recent curriculum changes have seen increased
emphasis on pharmacological knowledge and prescribing practices.
This book addresses both the fundamental problems of teaching
clinical pharmacology and therapeutics as well as reducing
prescribing errors. Essential Notes on Prescribing for Finals and
Junior Doctors is a practical, on-the-ward handbook that provides a
rapid review of key medications prescribed commonly by junior
doctors, including oxygen, pain-relief, insulin, and blood-thinning
agents. Lists and tables aid revision and quick reference and more
than 25 'gold standard' prescription charts are presented covering
acute medical and surgical scenarios for OSCE-style examinations.
This easy-to-read, high-yield revision guide for medical students
approaching finals gives vital tips and highlights common
prescribing errors and gives junior doctors the knowledge and
confidence to prescribe safely and appropriately.
