The evidence before the inquest was that there had been very limited attempts to review the long term prescribing of opiates to her. The inquest was told that she had been identified as a patient on a long term opiate prescription in 2022. The next action had been a pharmacy review in July 2024.There was no evidence of long term detailed planning or oversight of these patients within the practice ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Complete an audit of high-risk opioid prescribing to identify improvement needs and support appropriate monitoring.

Verbatim wording from the response
“As part of the practice’s commitment to continuous learning and patient safety, a comprehensive review of opioid prescribing was undertaken. This included a revision of the opioid prescribing policy in line with current clinical guidelines, alongside the introduction of mandatory training for all prescribers to support safer opioid use. An audit of high-risk prescribing was completed to identify areas for improvement and ensure appropriate monitoring. Electronic safety alerts within the prescribing system were optimised to support clinical decision-making at the point of care. Structured medication reviews were reinforced as a routine part of ongoing care, particularly for patients on long-term high-dose opioids.”

How this respondent position was interpreted

PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Resource constraints limited the practice’s ability to undertake more proactive, structured opioid reviews.

Verbatim wording from the response
“On reflection, several areas have been identified where care could have been improved. Earlier identification of risks associated with long-term high-dose opioid use may have prompted more timely interventions. Greater patient involvement in decision-making could have supported shared understanding and safer management plans. There was limited external input from specialist services in reviewing ongoing opioid prescribing, and an absence of a formal monitoring framework meant that risk mitigation strategies were not consistently applied. Resource constraints also impacted the ability to implement more proactive, structured reviews. Opportunities were missed for more proactive monitoring of opioid use, supported by a clear and structured communication protocol across the clinical team.”
