# The right medication, the right indication? Evaluating antipsychotic prescribing in adults with learning disabilities in primary care: a clinical audit

RIGHT DRUG, RIGHT INDICATION? EVALUATING ANTIPSYCHOTIC (AP) PRESCRIBING IN ADULTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITY (LD) IN PRIMARY CARE – A CLINICAL AUDIT

Presenter: Subhan S. Khan

Country: United Kingdom

Institution: University of Southampton, Faculty of Medicine

A clinical indication was documented for all antipsychotic prescriptions, but specialist follow-up and deprescribing planning fell short of the standards.

The study aimed to assess the appropriateness and safety of antipsychotic prescribing in adults with learning disabilities against NICE NG11, NICE QS101 and STOMP quality standards. A retrospective clinical audit was conducted at a single primary care practice using the EMISweb patient database; data were collected on documented clinical indications, specialist review within the previous 12 months, annual physical health monitoring and medication review plans. Of the 15,336 registered patients, 42 (0.27%) were on the learning disability register, and 10 of these (24%) had an active antipsychotic prescription; the analysis therefore included these 10 patients. A clinical indication was documented in 100% (10/10), specialist review within 12 months in 70% (7/10), annual physical health monitoring in 80% (8/10), and a dose reduction or discontinuation plan in 70% (7/10). The graph in the poster showed NICE/STOMP compliance targets of 90%, 90%, 80% and 90%, respectively, for these four standards. Referral delays and gaps in documentation were the main reasons for failure to meet the monitoring standards. The authors noted that, although documentation of indications was strong, shortcomings in specialist follow-up and deprescribing highlighted the challenges of implementing STOMP principles in primary care and the need to strengthen longitudinal monitoring systems. A repeat audit and the introduction of STOMP-aligned EMIS monitoring templates were planned as the next steps.
