Gary Culliton spoke with Prof Patrick Murray, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Consulting Physician, ahead of IMT’s annual GP Practice Management Seminar to be held this month.
Doctors may in future have to sit a national prescribing examination in order to practise in the health service, a leading expert has suggested.
According to Prof Patrick Murray, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Chair of the Drugs and Therapeutics Committee at the Mater Hospital, Prof Gerard Bury, on behalf of the HSE, approached him to assemble a working group on the topic and there is now talk of introducing a national prescribing examination, which doctors would have to take in order to be fully registered.
