The Guidelines have grown somewhat organically since they were first produced as a 14 page pamphlet in 1994. For this edition we have updated all sections using published information available to us up to March 2021. New sections include ketamine formulations, intramuscular clozapine, penfluridol weekly, psychotropic discontinuation schedules and psychotropics at the end of life.
The Guidelines originated as a local document and gradually grew in size and scope into a reference used throughout the UK. More recent editions have been translated into several languages, including Japanese and Chinese, and The Guidelines have seen increased use in other English-speaking countries, particularly the USA. Because of this we have tried more than ever in this edition to make The Guidelines of worldwide relevance by including advice on the use of a range of psychotropics commonly prescribed in countries outside the UK in 2021.
Funded by Health Education England, Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines in Psychiatry 14th edition is now free to all NHS staff and trainees in England.
To gain access, please use the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub. The ebook is available via OpenAthens account.
