Medicines formularies
The role of the pharmacist
in the development of medicines formularies is covered in more detail in
Chapter 11. Pharmacists providing clinical services are responsible for
ensuring that prescribers’ practices comply with formulary recommendations.
Clinical pharmacists’ detailed knowledge of medicines and the regular contact
they have with doctors, nurses and patients mean that they are ideally placed
to influence prescribing on the wards. A key feature of successful medicines
rationalisation is the ongoing communication between prescribers and
pharmacists who encourage self-audit and peer review.
