2 Pitfalls and opportunities for centralized TDM services: a Belgian singe-centre experience

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) requires a multidisciplinary approach with different stakeholders (nurse, bio-analyst, pharmacist, pharmacologist, pharmacometrician, physician). In recent years, a pharmacist-guided TDM dosing advice service, mainly for anti-infective therapy, has been installed at the Ghent University Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Flanders, Belgium. From this experience, advantages, pitfalls and opportunities for centralized TDM services are being summarized. Together with the previous talk, this talk will serve as a basis for discussion with the audience.
