  • There are other population groups that NICE states are at risk of vitamin D deficiency – NICE guidance
  • The answer to the question posed in this scenario includes the name by which vitamin D is prescribed. Can you think of any other vitamins that are not prescribed by their widely used names? Have a look in the British National Formulary under ‘vitamins’ or on the side of a multivitamin supplement.
  • This scenario mentions that there are only a few dietary sources of vitamin D. Find out what they are at NHS Choices.
  • Look at the vitamin D supplements stocked in your pharmacy, including those that are available on prescription and via schemes such as Healthy Start. Do you have products that you could recommend to someone who is vegan? What about a customer who is on a halal or kosher diet? Or allergic to nuts?
  • Is it possible to get too much vitamin D? Find out via the Vitamin D Council.
