High Risk Drug Monitoring
High Risk Drug Monitoring
What is High Risk Drug Monitoring?
A necessary and critical process to track medications that pose a potential threat to patients’ safety.
Virtual Pharmacist collaborates with practices and PCNs to provide a governance-led approach to monitoring high-risk medications, such as DMARDs, lithium, amiodarone, and antipsychotics.
Our pharmacists place patient safety first, identifying medicine-specific monitoring requirements, reviewing available results and escalating overdue or concerning findings in line with relevant SPS and NICE guidance.
