Sample text

6 Issues the prescriber should reflect upon before prescribing a medicine (National Prescribing Centre, 1998) • What is the drug? – Is it novel? – Is it a line extension? • What is the drug used for? – Licensed indications – Any restrictions on initiation – Does first line mean first choice? • How effective is the drug? – Is there good evidence for efficacy? – How does it compare with existing drugs? • How safe is the drug? – Are there published comparative safety data? – Has it been widely used in other countries?

The prescriber must determine the appropriate time to give explanations and also allow the patient time to consider the information provided. Signposting can also be a useful technique to employ during this stage. Once again the language used should be concise, easy to understand and avoid jargon. Using diagrams, models and written information can enhance and reinforce patient understanding. The explanation should be organised into discreet sections with a logical sequence so that important information can be repeated and summarised.

This is important, because patients and health care professionals may ascribe different values to the same level of risk. Health care professionals need to be able to discuss risks and benefits with patients in a context that would enable the patient to have the best chance of understanding those risks. It is also prudent to inform the patient that virtually all treatments are associated with some harm and that there is almost always a trade-off between benefit and harm. How health care professionals present risk and benefit can affect the patient's perception of risk.
