Hi Scopequeen
Alarm bells ringing here - be careful with this.
Abbreviations can be very dangerous and are a significant cause of harm to patients. You should have a local policy that specifies what is permitted and their meaning. Or look for a copy of the British National Forumularly to see what is allowed.
For example look here...
