Great safety flash UKCPA👇🚨 We have already made the switch from Pabrinex to IV Thiamine in NHS Forth Valley 💊 Our memo was distributed across FVRH with guidance last week 📋 Link to memo also available on HEPMA when prescribing IV Thiamine. Dr David Watson Prof Karen Goudie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🚨FVRH Pharmacy will have temporary dispensary in place until 31/10/24🚨 This is to enable the existing robots to be removed & new/faster robotic equipment installed. Access to Pharmacy Reception will be blocked off - please be patient as service will be slower than normal 1/

There is also likely to be a slower IDL processing time due to manual dispensing/smaller space. Details of temporary arrangements & dates are listed on Staffnet along with contact details for any urgent enquiries. ΉΛZΣᄂ JΛMIΣƧӨП®️ NHS Forth Valley Dr David Watson Prof Karen Goudie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In our latest study a 10% increase in the proportion of temporary RNs was associated with a 2.3% increase in the risk of death, with no difference between agency and bank staff. We were surprised, are you? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
