QMasters' tools to help GP practices implement this guidance

​QMasters' safety search for valproate will help identify patients at risk.

Please note our search relies on accurate clinical coding to identify these patients and we are unable to guarantee that all patients will be correctly identified.

GP practices subscribing to our QToolset will receive an updated clinical safety pop-up warning with their next update. This warning will appear whenever valproate is issued for a woman of childbearing age who is not receiving contraception.
