apologies for x-posting A colleague is seeking to answer the following question. Does giving oral drugs to inpatients in acute medical wards at 8am by day staff reduce the rate of drug administration errors compared to giving the drugs being given at 6am by the night staff. (yes I am afraid people are still being woken up to be given their tablets at 6am !) she has searched medline/cinahl cochrane using a variety of search terms (she is a beginner though!) and has only come up with a few dated nursing times articles which are not based on any research evidence. Does anybody have any other suggestions/ ideas ? thanks mark Mark Newman Senior Lecturer: School of Health, Biological & Environmental Sciences (HeBES) Middlesex University & Chase Farm Hospital NHS Trust 10 Highgate Hill London N19 3UA Tel: 0181 362 6627 or 0181 366 6600 ex 5775 Fax: 0181 362 6299 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
