In relation to public health, it is also
necessary to inform the Medicines and
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA) of significant adverse affects to
drugs through the Yellow Card system
(Joint Formulary Committee, 2015).
Finally, the right response is concerned
with ‘safety netting’—nurses, doctors and
other prescribing and non-prescribing
professionals should explain to a patient
what they should do if progress is not as
expected with their medicines and
what action they should take. This
information should also be recorded
in the patient’s notes.
