About the event
This session is aimed at individuals who want to improve safety with time critical medicines, working in any sector and role.
Our speakers share their experiences and innovative practices addressing safe use of time critical medicines, to inspire and equip the audience ready for translation and replication across systems.
We also present the progress of our safer use of time critical medicines programme, part of NHS England’s Medication Safety Improvement Programme.
Why it’s important
There are known risks associated with time critical medicines. Harms continue to be reported across the system.
Implementation of safety strategies to support the safe use of time critical medicines requires a collaborative and system wide approach to ensure safe and sustainable safety improvements.
