The method of collecting and analysing ADR reports from
health care professionals in the UK is a spontaneous reporting
system (SRS),3 the Yellow Card Scheme (YCS), which was
established in 1964 following the thalidomide tragedy. It is a
voluntary system for reporting ADRs initially available to
doctors, dentists and coroners. In 1997, pharmacists were
included, followed in 2002 by nurses, midwives and health
visitors. Prescribers complete a hard copy or an electronic yellow
card and submit it to the Medicines and Healthcare Products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Reports are also received
from the pharmaceutical companies. The YCS is especially
important in identifying previously undetected ADRs early
enough so that appropriate drug regulatory actions can be
taken.
