#MedSafetyWeek 2025
Anyone can make a difference by reporting - every report helps to improve the safety of healthcare products for everyone.
In the UK, we’re highlighting the importance of everyone, including patients and carers reporting any suspected problems with healthcare products through the Yellow Card scheme (Yellow Card | Making medicines and medical devices safer)
You can report:
Suspected adverse drug reactions to any medicine (including vaccines, blood products, herbal and homeopathic medicines)
Incidents involving medical devices
Defective or falsified (fake) healthcare products
Safety concerns related to e-cigarettes, vapes, and e-liquids
This year marks 10 years of #MedSafetyWeek, with regulators from 117 countries and 131 organisations around the world joining forces to raise awareness and strengthen patient safety.
Your report matters — every Yellow Card helps make healthcare safer.
