I asked the receptionist to get back to me if any were errors - heard nothing. So that makes me a bad pharmacist I guess. |
Most of the time you don't need to phone the surgery because the patient knows what's going on - they've had their lisinopril dose increased because their BP isn't quite on target. If however you had a patient whose methotrexate dose had gone from say 5mg per week to 20mg per week, and the patient doesn't have a clue, that's when you phone the GP to check.
