It is essential that information on the safe use of medications is readily available in a user-friendly format and is adhered to when prescribing, dispensing and administering medications. The Medicines Information icon in UHW and KOH provides just that!

As more staff are working in unfamiliar areas with unfamiliar medications, this poster reminds the reader of some simple checks to ensure IV medication is given correctly and safely.
Please contact a senior or pharmacy for advice.
