Don’t Rush to Crush (DRTC) and MIMS Crush provide guidance on the safe administration of oral medicines for patients with swallowing issues or enteral feeding requirements.
What's changing?
From 24th March 2026, the existing Don’t Rush to Crush module in eMIMS Elite will be replaced with a new module, MIMS Crush, from this date.
Don’t Rush to Crush will still be available in a new web app developed by Therapeutic Guidelines (eTG).
The Library has set up concurrent trials of both resources - Don’t Rush to Cush and MIMS Crush - from 24 March to 30 September 2026 and is keen to hear your feedback.
