What are they on?

This week, we look at medication reconciliation. Joshua Pevnick, health services researcher and hospital physician at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, LA, US, talks us through what it is and why it can be so hard to get right. And Emma Iddles, a junior doctor in general surgery at Hairmyres Hospital, Lanarkshire, UK, explains how her project improved medicines reconciliation in the surgical admissions unit of the hospital.
