Campaigns
The MHRA is committed to improving patient safety and strategically runs regular public health campaigns, like our annual #MedSafetyWeek, to raise awareness about the importance of reporting to the Yellow Card scheme.
How you can help support our Yellow Card campaigns
Help us spread awareness by encouraging healthcare professionals, patients, carers and parents to report side effects themselves online at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or using the Yellow Card app. Please support our campaigns by retweeting, liking and sharing our content on social media. You can find us on:
Join in the conversation and send your own messages via social media using the animations on this page from our current and previous campaigns (you can right-click on an image with your mouse and save them locally). Consider contributing your own perspective and thoughts to the discussion using the following hashtags: #medsafetyweek #everyreportcounts #patientsafety and #MHRAYellowCard.
Tell your colleagues and stakeholders about the campaign. Ask them to also support it by sharing/retweeting the links to the animations and infographics. They can also be used on organisational intranet pages so do get in touch for help on this. Please also share the materials on your personal Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, as well as via professional networks or patient organisations.
