Abstract: The preferred formulation of medicine for younger children is an oral liquid; however, the use of solid dose formulations rather than liquids is promoted widely, and children can successfully learn to swallow pills from the age of 4 years. This audit reviewed the approach and process of liquid antibiotic prescribing in GP practices in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly and the current opportunities and barriers to increasing the prescribing of solid dose forms of antibiotics.
