NHS sponsored self-assessment tool developed to help trusts learn about how well their electronic prescribing systems have been configured and maintained to mitigate against known prescribing risks
Why is this tool important to NHS trusts?

Medicines for Children
Medicines for Children is run in partnership by three UK-based organisations focused on child health – the RCPCH, the NPPG and the children’s charity WellChild
Medicines for Children was established in 2006 when the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and the Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacists Group (NPPG) decided that parents and carers needed better access to information on children’s medicines. The children’s charity WellChild joined the programme to represent the family perspective and to ensure that the key audience of parents and carers was always at the forefront of our work.

Continued Professional Development (CPD)
We do not issue CPD certificates for webinars or podcasts, as we are unable to verify participation.
However, you are still able to record as a CPD activity as you normally would, detailing what you have learned and how the learning will benefit your practice.
When recording the activity, delegates should focus on the reflection and detail the following:
- What did you learn?
- What effect has/will the learning had/have on your current practice?
- What further learning or action, if any, is needed as a result of the original learning activity?
If you have any questions, please contact the CPD team
