Medicines
Resources and projects to support improvement in paediatric medicines safety, including education for families.
The Meds IQ project is now closed
This project, which ran for several years and featured on this website, aimed to address preventable medication errors in children and young people's care. We have now closed the project and removed the resources that are no longer up-to-date. We thank contributors for sharing their work. You can find current medicines resources relating to QI below.
