5 Moments for Medication Safety
These are the key moments where action by the patient or caregiver can greatly reduce the risk of harm associated with the use of their medication/s.
The World Health Organization have produced the attached "5 Moments for Medication Safety".
Each moment includes 5 critical questions:
- Starting medication
- Taking my medication
- Adding a medication
- Reviewing my medications
- Stopping my medication
Some are self-reflective for the patient and some require support from a health professional to be answered and reflected upon correctly.
