SCRIPT has been mentioned in an important report from the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch, who have recommend that it would be beneficial to roll out SCRIPT as a mandatory requirement for all prescribers. The error investigated in the report was the ‘inadvertent administration of an oral liquid into a vein’. This specific error is discussed in our ‘Medication Errors’ module and as such, the HSIB also include an image of the related eLearning content.
