Abstract

The use of medication in acute mental health is common practice however, there is a lack of research into all aspects of pharmacology within inpatient settings. This paper explores the specific use of benzodiazepines and areas of potential mismanagement. A number of priorities for investigation are raised and implications for nursing roles and responsibilities discussed.
