TARGET AUDIENCE | Health practitioners who are able to prescribe or dispense monitored medicines and access QScript. |
MODULE AIM | Completion of this module will enable prescribers and pharmacists to understand the clinical application of QScript’s high-risk clinical scenarios and the related notification function. This module will discuss each high-risk clinical scenario where a patient may be at risk of serious harms associated with the use of monitored medicines. Under the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019 relevant practitioners (medical practitioners, pharmacists and intern pharmacists, nurse practitioners, endorsed midwives, dentists, podiatric surgeons and endorsed podiatrists) are required to check QScript before prescribing, dispensing or giving a treatment dose of a monitored medicine for a patient (unless an exemption applies under Schedule 18, Part 1A of the Medicines and Poisons (Medicines) Regulation 2021). Separately, all prescribers and dispensers providing monitored medicine treatment to a patient currently registered on the Queensland Opioid Treatment Program (QOTP) must comply with the minimum requirements stipulated in the Monitored Medicines Standard, if prescribing a monitored medicine for dispensing or for giving a treatment dose, or if dispensing a monitored medicine for the patient. |
