Children want to explore the world around them, but they aren’t always aware of the substances that may harm them. With your children at home with you more often, be sure to #CheckForPoisons and lock poisonous items up high & out of reach. https://t.co/QjF3fETkHc #NPPW2022

A culture of learning is key in preventing #medicationerrors. I think my teacher roots have helped me dig into this work of #medicationsafety because reporting errors is essential to learn, not to punish.

Do you know why we need to hear about #medicationerrors? Because of Andrew. Because of others who have experienced the gravest consequences of system failure. You can help improve the system if you share what happens. https://t.co/tD21eXG6g2
