A conference focused on reducing errors in the prescription of medication will be held on 1 July at the Manchester Conference Centre. Speakers at the event include David Gerrett, the senior pharmacist, on the NHS England Medication Safety Team, Rakesh Patel, a clinical lecturer in medical education at the University of Leicester. The conference will promote a 'zero-tolerance' approach to medication errors, with the aim of improving patient care and experience. It will discuss how this approach has been successful in reducing infection and pressure ulcer rates in pilot sites, how to reduce the impact of missed doses, and ways to develop and assess methods to improve the quality of prescribing in healthcare settings.
