National standard paper based in-patient prescription chart

The all-Wales chart was also referenced as an example of good practice in the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges’ standards for hospital in-patient prescription charts. The benefits, particularly for trainees and locums moving between hospitals, are clear, and supported by the RCP's Committee for Clinical Pharmacology and Sir Michael Rawlins, until recently chairman of NICE.

While the RCP supports the national use of the in-patient prescription chart we would like to emphasise our proactive approach to e-prescribing. We still believe that the paper-based chart would be useful in training and as a back-up to e-prescribing.
