Key messages:
- NHSGGC has various online clinical resources designed to aid safe prescribing and administration of medicines. The resources detailed in this blog should be your first port of call when looking for information.
- Search engines may find clinical information that is out-of-date or not relevant for use in NHSGGC. Using a search engine is not advised for finding NHSGGC clinical information, however, if using one, make sure any results you find are relevant to NHSGGC. Including “GGC” in your search term may help narrow down relevant results, but still always check the information is applicable to GGC and that it is the most current guidance.
- Only use the NHSGGC validated calculators for gentamicin, vancomycin and creatinine clearance (CrCl). These are available within NHSGGC resources (via Clinical Info on Staffnet and the GGC Medicines App). Do not use calculators found elsewhere on the internet, as other health boards’ guidance and dosing may differ.
