‘I want the student to write my prescription’
Kinston, Ruth; McCarville, Niamh; Hassell, Andrew
Abstract
What problems were addressed?
Competence in prescribing is a core clinical skill required by all newly graduated doctors. Despite this, new doctors report relatively low levels of confidence in their prescribing skills and errors have been identified in approximately 8% of the prescriptions they write. Currently, in the UK, medical students are legally prohibited from prescribing for patients in the workplace. Therefore, their prescribing practice is usually limited to making suggestions about suitable drugs or to prescribing in the simulated learning environment. A core condition for clinical workplace learning is supported participation. Here, students integrate their knowledge and skills to build practical competence and the positive state of mind required for independent practice.
