PHARMD GURU Page 1 PREPARATION OF WRITTEN AND VERBAL REPORTS GOAL: It is to prepare a document that is clear, concise, complete and correct. GENERAL RULES: Organize the information before starting to write (what and how to write). Use proper spelling and grammar. Preferably avoid passive voice throughout. Avoid writing in the first person and second person wherever possible. Prepare a document in a presentable manner (neat). Keep things as simple and direct as possible. Consider whether tables or graph or figures would make the document simpler. Avoid using abbreviations or acronyms (or quote at first instance in parenthesis). If the document is long, use sub headings. Present it in correct order as required. Write in your own words. At first make sure that all of the information is down on paper. Once that occurs, go back, revise and perhaps reorganize the document. SPECIFIC DOCUMENT SECTIONS: It should contain: Introduction. Body. Conclusion. DRUG & POISON INFORMATION
