Ward Folder

Medication Rounds

Do not disturb tabards: A nurse or a pharmacy medicine administration technician wears this tabard to emphasise the importance of patient safety and minimising the chance of medication errors during medicine administrations rounds.

Please avoid interrupting the nurse wearing this tabard unless it is an emergency. Medicine administration rounds can be complex involving multiple medicines and doses and requires concentration. Please support measures which ensure that staff are able to concentrate when carrying out this task on a busy ward. You will be able to ask questions when you are being administered your medicines despite the tabard.
