The annual #MedSafetyWeek campaign takes place 3 - 9 November 2025. This year’s campaign theme is ‘we can all help make medicines safer.’
Calling all healthcare professionals to support #MedSafetyWeek 2025:
- follow MHRA social media channels and share campaign content using hashtags #MHRAYellowCard, #MedSafetyWeek, #ReportSideEffects, and #patientsafety to increase the awareness of reporting
- use campaign materials and other resources available on the Yellow Card website to raise awareness locally, including a digital poster for screens and for patient waiting areas
- tell your colleagues and report problems with healthcare products to the Yellow Card scheme or via the Yellow Card app
- inform patients about potential risks of healthcare products and what to do if they experience any side effects; this includes encouraging them to self-report using the Yellow Card scheme and the importance of reporting to improve patient safety.
