Description

In this episode we talk to Dr Sean MacBride-Stewart who is Lead Pharmacist for Medicines Management Resources, Pharmacy Services, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.Paper: Feedback of actionable individual patient prescription data to improve asthma prescribing: pragmatic cluster randomised trial in 233 UK general practiceshttps://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0695Prescribing feedback to GPs is a common intervention but evidence suggests that alone it is not very effective in changing behaviour. We investigated whether newly available patient-level prescription data could be used to measure potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) of bronchodilators. This pragmatic study found patient-level feedback to GPs was effective at reducing the number of patients exposed to excess or unsafe prescribing of bronchodilator inhalers. This would be feasible to implement, at scale, where primary care electronic prescribing is in general use.
