Equity and quality use of medicines in people who present to the Psychiatric Alcohol and Non‐Prescription Drug Assessment Unit

Standard polypharmacy and prescribing safety indicators may require adaptation for acute psychiatric settings to distinguish appropriate acute prescribing from potentially inappropriate practices.
