Dear all,

 

Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my recent request for help in locating the protocol for an RCT for a research project regarding medication errors in nursing homes and the efficacy of pharmacy interventions to reduce these errors.  I’ve had a number of helpful responses from the list.

 

One member suggested that I consult the UK ISRCTN clinical trials website at

http://www.controlled-trials.com/

 

Another email suggested that the NeLM Medicines Management portal which includes the relevant content from the former Pharm-line database would be a useful source of information

http://www.nelm.nhs.uk/en/NeLM-Area/Evidence/Medicines-Management/References/

 

Both these websites have proved to be very useful sources for retrieving citations relating to the research project.

 

I also had a helpful reply from a member who highlighted the following book in connection with a request I submitted a few weeks ago about clinical outcome measures (CLOMS) which can be used in mental health trusts.
