A further consideration is that
the patient may see many different
clinicians, whom consider the patient
in relation to a specific condition. The
person administering the medication
may identify duplicate medications or
potential interactions. This may occur
particularly at the interface between
secondary and primary care when a
patient is discharged home with an
altered medication regimen that is not
immediately implemented. Pharmacists,
doctors, and, increasingly, non-medical
prescribers, are all in a position to
undertake medication reviews to identify
potential errors and to stop medicines
when they are no longer required.
