Our learning this week comes from when a patient was prescribed and took a sedative that was higher than the recommended dose. The patient became unresponsive and needed to stay on our CDU overnight for observations.
The attached bite-sized learning should be shared within teams.
Our medicines management Bulletin 106 Benzodiazepine Special (2017) also focused on this topic - with patient stories and advice and guidance.
If you have any learning that you would like to share through CHFT weekly, please contact Laura Malik at HRI on ext. 2755 or e-mail laura.malik@cht.nhs.uk
