Prescribing errors at ARI
Dear Grampian Health Board,
I would like details of prescribing errors made by doctors and other medical professionals at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (e.g. wrong drug on a prescription or the right drug but at the wrong dosage) each year since 2008.
Ideally, numbers broken down by the department e.g. dermatology, rheumatology, etc.
If there are any other figures around the types and consequences of prescribing errors I would like these too, e.g. numbers of deaths due to prescribing errors, number of medical negligence cases, etc.
I would also like to know if you have policies, procedures, etc. in place that cover prescribing errors and their reporting, if so please can I have copies covering the period 2008 to present.
If you also record near misses, I would like details of these too.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth Morgan
