The Clinical Pharmacology Consult Team contributes to:
• Giving recommendations about personalized medicines optimisation for admitted patients;
• Executing medication reviews for admitted patients (with polypharmacy);
• Educating doctors and medical students about medication reviews;
• The development of a hospital-wide induction program on rational prescribing for (starting) prescribers;
• The farmacopedia website, which gives directions to the appriopriate guidelines.
The Clinical Pharmacology Consult Team has grown to being a well-known team within the Amsterdam UMC by working together intensively with different clinical departments and several clinical teams (such as the A-team) within the Amsterdam UMC. In addition, they offer postacademic courses (such as the clinical pharmacology training programme) and work together with new initiatives (as the Junior ADE-managers project). The Clinical Pharmacology Consult Team strives for more clinical relevance and innovation on medication – and patient safety.
In conclusion, the Clinical Pharmacology Consult Team is a multidisciplinary team, who offer conclusive guidelines, applications and guidance in rational prescribing.
