Patient Reporting Poster

admin November 8th, 2006

We have produced a poster for local pharmacies and GP surgeries to promote the patient reporting of adverse drug reactions. You can download a printable PDF version here.

Patients can report adverse drug reactions at http://www.yellowcard.gov.uk

Move to new website: adr.org.uk

admin August 4th, 2006

The Committee on Safety of Medicines was dissolved on the 31st of October 2005, and has been replaced by the Comission for Human Medicines. The name of our organisation has therefore changed from CSM West Midlands, to Yellow Card Centre West Midlands. We have therefore changed the url of this site from csmwm.org to www.adr.org.uk which has the advantage of being able to cope with any future re-organisations. Please adjust your bookmarks accordingly.
