#Medicationerrors need urgent attention. Our latest paper uses a #humanfactors approach to show that even with some of the best doctors and nurses in the world current systems are letting us down. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/11… @calandrafeather @Jonny_M_Clarke @philipjpratt @helixcentre

Thank you @sarahpslight and Gaby Judah for the time and attention you gave to examining my work. It was great to be able to spend time discussing it and with a successful outcome of course.
Thank you also to my supervisors @BryonyDF and Prof Darzi, not forgetting @nicapples.

Thanks to @Imperial_IGHI for sharing our story! It highlights how Touchdose can reduce prescription errors by 76.5%, plus our latest implementation at @ImperialNHS, and soon @ChelwestFT.
Read about our journey and why our CEO, a former surgeon, finds prescribing "terrifying" ⬇️
🆕Imperial spinout @dosiumuk is working with @WLCH_NHS to roll out a clinical decision support tool offering dosage guidance to increase #PatientSafety.
The aim is to commercialise early R&D carried out at IGHI's @helixcentre. Learn more:

@ImperialIdeas
Thrilled to announce
@dosiumuk's partnership with @WLCH_NHS. Our Touchdose solution, powered by the BNF, is now live at St Mary’s Hospital, marking a huge step towards safer prescribing for nearly 500K children.

Such a pleasure to be asked to write a post about a subject I’m passionate about, indication documentation and indication-based prescribing, for @BMJ_Qual_Saf Now is the time to move this on from ABx and PRN medications to ALL 💊medications 😊 @Imperial_IGHI @Imperial_PSTRC

Variability in clinical practice guidelines in under appreciated. Our new paper in @PLOSONE gives some idea of the degree of heterogeneity present in guidelines for a commonly managed emergency. Should the way we represent best practice vary by facility?

Loved working on this paper exploring global variation in hypertension guidelines with @Jonny_M_Clarke, @DrThomasBeaney and team @Imperial_PCPH, @CMPHImperial.

A scary and relevant article, featuring our simulation study as an example that more work is urgently needed if we are to stop these errors from occurring. pharmaceutical-journal.com/a…

Moving out of #stealthmode with a fantastic two days at the @INTEROPenAPI #medshack21. Working with our brilliant partner @bettercareIT and supported by @NHSx we were blown away to witness our #FHIR API power the next generation of #electronicprescribing and #patientsafety.

Next up we have the team from @bettercareIT - as past FHIRHack winners, they've been determined to do some even more impressive stuff this time round 💪🔥
Working with the fab new meds tech suppliers @dosiumuk they have been making great progress for EPS dispensing 💊💊💉

Our new paper highlights the importance of guideline usability to #patientsafety. Relevant design changes have now been made

Rules written for humans don’t always make sense for computers. Our latest piece in @ADC_BMJ shows how following UK national guidance for prescribing using ideal bodyweight can lead to illogical dosing in #childhoodobesity. @Jonny_M_Clarke @helixcentre adc.bmj.com/content/early/20…

Great to see our research being picked up in the anaesthetic world too. @nicapples @Jonny_M_Clarke @helixcentre
Medication errors during simulated paediatric resuscitations: a prospective, observational human reliability analysis.
"At least one medication error was observed in every simulated case."

Ideal #bodyweight is an inconsistent tool for prescribing in #obesity. A #digital health team examine a million children to see why. @helixcentre ja.ma/2CPNjlF

New blog post about our recent publication in @JAMAPediatrics. We discuss the dangers of under and over dosing children with obesity using the current weight estimation tools. @helixcentre @Imperial_IGHI @Imperialpeople bit.ly/2Ua01X3
