West of Scotland neonatal drug monographs are developed and maintained by the West of Scotland Neonatal Pharmacists Group. The West of Scotland neonatal drug monographs are not governed by the Scottish Perinatal Network but made available through the Scottish Perinatal Network website to ensure accessibility to these documents for clinicians across Scotland. If you have a question about a drug monograph, please contact Lauren Williams, Senior Neonatal Pharmacist, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
West of Scotland neonatal drug monographs are reviewed routinely three years after publication. The date of publication or last review (whichever is most recent) is stated in brackets after the monograph title.
