Fantastic day @WalsallHcareNHS raising awareness for #MedSafetyWeek 20205, we spoke to lots of patients, h/c professionals and students about the importance of the Yellow Card Scheme.
🦸 Here are 4 ways that patients and their carers can be #MedSafetyHeroes:
✔ Talk to HCPs about potential side effects
✔ Ask how to report side effects
✔ Read the patient information leaflet and follow dosage instructions
✔ Report suspected side effects
