Abstract
Clozapine prescribing in treatment‐refractory schizophrenia is underutilised, including in early intervention for psychosis services. COVID‐19 has brought various challenges to the utilisation of clozapine, particularly in the context of initiation and monitoring. There is a need for clear national guidance in this regard.
