| Abstract | Results Of the 470 respondents, 84% had their own hard copy of their joint formulary, and 34% had accessed their intranet formulary. 48% said they used their joint formulary to guide prescribing once a week or more, and 20% stated they referred to their joint formulary frequently to assist in the choice of drug therapy during individual patient consultations. Most GPs agreed that a joint formulary is a useful means of promoting consistent prescribing across the primary/secondary care interface, and that their approach to prescribing had been influenced by, and had improved since, its introduction. 93% agreed that their joint formulary has an educational value attached to it, and 87% welcomed feedback on adherence to the joint formulary. Only 39% had noticed any influence of the joint formulary on hospital prescribing. Free text comments to open questions on the joint formulary concept and how formularies should develop were broadly positive although some GPs did express negative views. |
