This E-Bulletin describes the implementation of an educational visiting service provided by clinical pharmacists working at RGH Daw Park.
The Drug and Therapeutic Information Service (DATIS) based at RGH has provided an academic detailing service for General Practitioners in the community setting for many years, providing education addressing a range of topics. Academic detailing is an established, evidence-based method for influencing prescriber behaviour, but recently has largely been practiced in the community setting. In 2008 a visiting program was implemented at RGH with the aim of increasing prescriber awareness around the prescribing of renally cleared medicines. The need for this became apparent through information gathered from local quality assurance activities, as well as documentation of clinical pharmacy interventions in a departmental monitoring system.
