SafeScript NSW (Real Time Prescription Monitoring System)

Thu 24th March 2022 @ 7:00 pm

SafeScript NSW provides prescribers and pharmacists with real-time information about a patient’s prescribing and dispensing history for certain high-risk medicines, known as monitored medicines which include opioids (e.g. codeine, morphine or oxycodone) and benzodiazepines (e.g. diazepam, nitrazepam or alprazolam).

This information helps to improve clinical decision making and help keep patients safe.

SafeScript NSW will be available to prescribers and pharmacists in Northern Sydney PHN region from late March 2022. Learn about the benefits of SafeScript NSW and how the system is intended to be used.
