Committee Recommendations (3)
Duplicate prescribing of inhalers that contain the same medicine is a commonly reported medicines safety incident when a patient’s inhalers are changed. The “Know your inhalers” diagram shows practice staff the class of medicine in commonly prescribed inhalers and will help to identify if there is potential for a duplicate inhaler prescribing error.
The use of High Dose Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) Safety Cards are recommended where appropriate. Patients on very high doses should also be issued with a Steroid Emergency Card. Refer to the Steroid Card resources for guidance.
The Surrey Heartlands APC approved the updated COPD guidelines.
