Oxycodone liquid prescribing – important information for EMIS practices

A number of incidents have occurred in another Area Team where oxycodone 10mg/ml liquid has been incorrectly selected instead of oxycodone 5mg/5ml. Please ensure vigilance when prescribing oxycodone liquid, particularly using EMIS where the 10mg/ml liquid appears at the top of the pick list.
