Virginia Clough The Chester Anticoagulant Service Countess of Chester Hospital

“ Coroner highlights prescribing error after a patient dies from Warfarin overdose ”. BMJ 26th October 2002

The Chester Anticoagulant Service 2002 team consultant haematologist - lead clinician clinical pharmacist (& covering colleagues) senior BMS2 0.6 BMS 1 clinical assistant 1 session anticoagulant nurse practitioner 1 part-time nurse (D) 2 part-time DVT nurses (F) 1.0 AC MLA

Problems  Long term sickness of 1 of 2 consultants  Clinical pharmacist → promotion elsewhere  Poor recruitment of pharmacy staff in the NHS  Dosing 100+ patients each afternoon

“ ………. Administrative and clerical staff are not amongst the staff who can have authority delegated to them under the terms of a Patient Group Direction”. “……….I therefore think that admin and clerical staff carrying out a dose variation on the basis of any group delegation of authority would be potentially open to prosecution under the Medicines Act ”. Hill Dickinson Solicitors March 2002

∙Establish a “patient group direction” for nurse to issue and administer: Warfarin Vitamin K Low molecular weight heparin ∙Establish a document of “levels of competency” for the DAWN system Solutions

Q:How do I know that the anticoagulant team are doing what I think I have trained them to do? Q:How do I look at the quality of performance of individual “dosers” in the team?
