Press release – Every report to MHRA’s Yellow card scheme helps improve the safety of medicines and medical devices for all

To improve medical product safety for all, report suspected side effects and adverse incidents as part of the #MedSafetyWeek global campaign.

Launched today by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the MHRA), the seventh annual #MedSafetyWeek is running until 13 November to encourage widespread public engagement and improve patient safety by reporting suspected side effects associated with medicines and adverse incidents involving medical devices.

This year’s campaign is a truly global effort and involves healthcare product regulators from no fewer than 82 countries. It focuses on the vital role played by every healthcare professional, patient, and carer who reports a suspected side effect or adverse incident, which in turn supports the safe use of medicines and medical devices.
