HEPMA functionality enables users to prescribe medicines by \u2018bundle\u2019 or \u2018protocol\u2019. Although it is assumed that this is a significant system benefit, there are few qualitative studies supporting this conclusion.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>To explore the impact of an electronic anticipatory care medicines protocol on junior doctor perceptions of their confidence and competence to prescribe opioids and midazolam for patients at the end of life.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Between May and August 2022, one-to-one semi-structured interviews were conducted at a 570-bed District General Hospital with junior doctors who had experience of prescribing on both HEPMA and paper-based systems.

Analysis generated five main themes that described perceptions and attitudes towards confidence and competence. These were prescribing safety benefits; information technology infrastructure, interoperability and system design concerns; clinical knowledge and training needs; cultural and social factors and risks of automation in prescribing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study suggests that junior doctors experienced an overall increase in their confidence and perceived competence to prescribe anticipatory medicines post-implementation of a HEPMA protocol.
