In the article by Mordecai L et al, Patterns of regional variation of opioid prescribing in primary care in England: a retrospective observational study, Br J Gen Pract 2018; DOI: 10.3399/bjgp18X695057, the Figure 2 caption incorrectly stated: ‘Total opioids prescribed in equivalent mg morphine per capita per month from August 2010 to February 2014 (r = 0.48, r2 = 0.23)’ but should have stated ‘Total opioids prescribed in equivalent grams of morphine in England per month from August 2010 to February 2014 (r = 0.48, r2 = 0.23)’; additionally the y axis of the figure incorrectly stated ‘Opiate total in equivalent mg morphine per capita per month’, but should have been ‘Total equivalent grams of morphine prescribed nationally’ with the axis label ‘Months’. The online version has been corrected.
