Getting Medicines Right, Every Time

Medication errors can occur when hospital medicines, previous prescriptions and new instructions overlap. A simple, organized medication routine reduces avoidable risk.

Before giving a medicine, confirm the correct patients, medicine, dose, route and time, and check allergies and relevant instructions. Keep an up-to-date medication list and record administration where required.

Do not independently stop, restart, double, or change prescribed medicines because symptoms improve or worsen. Watch for unexpected reactions, excessive drowsiness, vomiting, breathing difficulty or other concerning changes and seek professional guidance.

Medication safety is not only about giving tablets correctly. It includes understanding why medicines are prescribed, recognizing problems early and maintaining communication between the patient, family and healthcare team.

Educate. Prevent. Monitor. Escalate. Recover.
