Medication Error Claims

Occasionally mistakes are made by GPs, pharmacies, hospitals and community nurses that result in medication error claims. Examples of medication errors include:

• Prescribing the wrong medication
• Prescribing the wrong dosage
• Prescribing medication to a patient with a known allergy to that medication
• Failing to consider the harmful interaction between the prescribed medication and the patient’s pre-existing medications or health conditions
• Dispensing the wrong medication or the wrong dosage
• Administering the medication incorrectly
• Failing to appropriately monitor prescribed medication
