Title
A Rapid Review of Prescribing Education Interventions
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Many studies conducted on the causes and nature of prescribing errors have
highlighted the inadequacy of teaching and training of prescribers. Subsequently, a rapid
review was undertaken to update on the nature and effectiveness of educational
interventions aimed at improving the prescribing skills and competencies
Methods
22 studies taking place between 2009 and 2019 were identified across nine
databases. Out of 1,137 papers, 58 papers were selected for full-text screening, from which 22 papers were included in the review.
Results
This review reinforced the importance of the WHO Guide to Good
Prescribing to prescribing curriculum design as well as the effectiveness of small group
teaching. However, it also highlighted the lack of innovation in prescribing education and
lack of longitudinal follow-up regarding the effectiveness of prescribing education
interventions.
Conclusion
Prescribing curricula needs to adapt and evaluate the scope of implementing educational
approaches which utilize innovations such as virtual reality and explore areas where
students can commit errors in a safe environment and learn from these to better their
prescribing skills in preparation for real-life clinical practice.
