text
| - It is widely recognised that newly qualified doctors are at the sharp end of prescribing, and that this work is largely unsupervised. Although junior doctors are protected from undertaking many high-risk practical procedures, they are able to prescribe powerful medicines from their first day of clinical work. Here, clinical pharmacists are well recognised to play a very important support and educational role. Nevertheless, there is a critical need to provide medical students with an undergraduate education and training in therapeutics and prescribing that prepares them effectively to fulfil this role, and to be able to develop as an effective prescriber thereafter. Essential support in prescribing can be provided, and several studies have suggested that the delivery of targeted education can improve prescribing performance and reduce prescription errors. (en)
