NATIONAL MEDICATION SAFETY PROGRAMME (SAFERMEDS)

We work with you to improve the safe use of medicines.

KNOW CHECK ASK FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do you know your medicines? Do you keep a list? Can you describe and discuss
your medicines with healthcare professionals and family when you want to?

 * Get started: Know Check Ask for people who use medicines and their families
 * Get involved: Know Check Ask campaign for people working in healthcare
 * Resources: help to promote the Know Check Ask campaign

My Medicines List is a list of all the medicines and supplements you take.
Keeping an up-to-date list can help you know your medicines. It can also help
