Abstract
  • The main study was carried out in 18 smaller hospitals in West Cornwall without pharmacists. The objectives were: introduction of an improved design of prescription sheets for acute and long-stay hospitals; production of a procedural booklet on the prescribing, administration and distribution of drugs for medical, nursing and pharmaceutical staff; setting up a pilot visiting pharmacist system; improvement of the pharmaceutical preparations from the parent hospital to the associated small hospitals without a pharmacist; measurement of the effect of these changes by conducting experiments to determine rates of error before and after. The intrinsic value of this report will be appreciated by all who are concerned with these aspects of hospital practice, for it provides important guidelines for a closer integration of the work of doctors, nurses and pharmacists.
