High risk meds

Patient Safety First asks Trusts to choose one of four medications to start with and employ three principles to ensure a safe system.

These principles are shown in the diagram above.

Our 'How to' guide for Reducing Harm from High Risk Medicines' provides team members involved in implementing changes to reduce harm in high risk medications with actions to reduce harm from all high risk medications and reduce harm in each of the four medicines included in this intervention.

The 'How to guide' and other resources available can be downloaded from here.
