Abstract: A poster presentation regarding the risks in pharmacist prescribing guidelines. Introduction: The concept of Risk is becoming part of daily language and is used in a variety of contexts and scenarios. Risk may be related to the probability of an incident either happening or not happening, about success or failure. Managing dangers and threats by applying techniques of ‘risk management’ maximises the chance of a successful outcome and limits the chance of failure. Clinical practice guidelines were developed to improve patients’ quality of care by assisting physician and patient decisions about adequate healthcare in specific clinical scenarios. However, potential risks from following guidelines should not be neglected. Aims: To examine the risks of following or not following guidelines in pharmacist prescribing.
