After success in many other states, the government initiative 'SafeScript' was recently launched in NSW (in the ACT it is called 'Canberra Script') - a very valuable tool to assist practitioners when prescribing patients with certain high-risk medicines, known as monitored medicines. This initiative allows prescribers and pharmacists to access real-time information about their patient's use and potential misuse of these monitored medicines. Join dentist Dr Patrick Meaney as he unpacks all the facts of SafeScript with clinical pharmacist Dr Geraldine Moses.
Safescript NSW and Canberra Script are two new versions of Australia’s national Real Time Prescription Monitoring or RTPM scheme. These programs provide information to dentists about their patients’ access to medicines prone to misuse, abuse or diversion. More information on the RTPM scheme can be found in NSW Dentist Magazine, July edition 2022.
Dr Geraldine Moses runs the ADA 'PharmaAdvice' Medicine Information Service which is available to all ADA members when seeking advice on the use of medication in dentistry. Members can contact Geraldine via email at [email protected].
