Sažetak
Introduction: Pro Re Nata (PRN) prescribing in psychiatry is a common and valuable facility to be used in acutely distressed
patients. It is open to misuse and PRN prescribing may be unnecessary/inappropriate.
Aim: The aim of the audit is to ensure safe and effective prescription of PRN medication.
Audit Standards: The standards were set in congruence with the guidance from the local trust policy.
Methodology: All of the inpatient records at Wood Lea clinic were studied over a 2 month period.
Conclusions: Most of the standards against which the clinical notes were assessed gave evidence of good medical practice.
Patient demographics demonstrated a 100% record of the NHS number but the patient’s name and ward fell short.
Recommendations: This was presented locally and measures put in place to address gaps. Re-audit should be performed within
a year in order to complete the audit cycle and to ensure that recommendations/action plan have been followed through.
