Abstract
Opioids e.g., morphine are high-risk medications that are frequently prescribed using a complex process in general practice. The current opioid prescribing process within six general practices was mapped using template analysis which highlighted high levels of variation. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety v2.0 framework was used to identify overall aims for a safe opioid prescribing process and associated facilitators and barriers.
