3 top tips for good prescribing
- Use one drug in each drug category – e.g. dapagliflozin OR canagliflozin – and know the standard dose and frequency of that drug, dose adjustments (e.g. in CKD) and when not to use
- Buy (or use) a clinical pharmacology textbook (paper or cyber) – and keep it near you when at work
- Read the BNFs guidance on good prescribing regularly (and follow them): https://bnf.nice.org.uk/medicines-guidance/guidance-on-prescribing/.
