In collaboration with colleagues from NHS Scotland, academia and individuals with lived experience, Scottish Government has developed an updated “Quality prescribing for antidepressants: guide for improvement 2024 to 2027”. This resource focuses on delivery of safe person centred care through promoting safe prescribing and practical review of medications to ensure their effective use in clinical practice. This guide also aims to promote shared decision making using the 7 step medicine review model in order for patients to be involved in all steps of their treatment.
The guide can be accessed on the main Scottish Government website
