The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has adopted a digital pioneering assessment and e-learning tool for physicians focused on minimizing medication errors. The new technology is being provided by BPS Assessment, the skills and assessment arm of the British Pharmacological Society. Physicians will have access to online prescribing skills modules in English and French, tailored for the Canadian health care context. Royal College Fellows will be able to contribute to the question-writing process for the modules, which will help to continually update and customize the platform for the Canadian medical community. The Prescribing Safely program will start in early 2019, following a successful 8-week trial between the Royal College and BPS Assessment.
