Although biosimilars have been part of clinical practice for more than a decade, healthcare professionals (HCPs) do not fully accept them. This is because of the perception that biosimilars may not be like their originators in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy. This study aims to evaluate the current knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals toward biosimilar prescription, and to elaborate on their concerns. We reviewed the literature using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct electronic databases in the period from 2018 to 2020. The knowledge and confidence of healthcare professionals vary between countries, between clinical profiles and between studies. Although most of the healthcare professionals had a positive attitude to prescribing biosimilars, they would still prefer to prescribe them in initial treatment. Generally, HCPs were against multiple switches and substitution of biosimilars at the pharmacy level. HCP’s key concern was interchangeability, with eventual consequences on the clinical outcome of patients. HCPs still approach biosimilars with caution and stigma. HCPs need to have an unbiased coherent understanding of biosimilars at clinical, molecular and regulatory levels. It was also observed that most of their concerns are more theoretical than science-based. Physicians are in an excellent position to accept biosimilars, but they need the additional support of regulatory authorities to approve and take into consideration the available scientific data regarding biosimilars.

Child Psychiatrists

Objective: To ascertain the experience, knowledge and attitudes of Australian and New Zealand child psychiatrists in relation to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the young in order to determine whether they would be willing and able to provide an opinion if consulted about children or adolescents in whom ECT is proposed. Method: A 28-item questionnaire was posted to all members of the Faculty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry living in Australia or New Zealand. Results: Eighty-three percent (n = 206) answered the questionnaire. Forty percent rated their knowledge about ECT in the young as nil or negligible. Having had patients treated with ECT was the best predictor of possessing some knowledge. Thirty-nine percent believed that ECT was unsafe in children compared to 17% for adolescents and 3% for adults. Almost all (92%) respondents believed child psychiatrists should be consulted in all cases of persons under 19 in whom ECT was recommended. The vast majority believed the Faculty or College should have guidelines relating to ECT use in this group and that it would be useful to have a national register of young persons treated with ECT. Conclusions: Child and adolescent psychiatrists wish to be involved in the process of ECT treatment in young people. At the same time, there are gaps in their knowledge. This will need to be remedied, particularly if formal guidelines advocating their involvement are introduced.
