The Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRe) Profile for Polypharmacy

PADRe asks nurses to systematically check patients for the manifestation of itemised adverse side effects or undesirable effects of their primary care medicines, as listed in the British National Formulary (BNF) and manufacturers' Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs), and seminal texts documenting known ADRs. Nurses are asked to share the identified problems with prescribers and pharmacists overseeing medicines charts. A full description is published (references below).
