Guidelines : Central Alerting System - CAS alerts

Practices should have a system in place to ensure that they receive, disseminate and act upon medicines safety alerts in a timely manner.

Practices will need to evidence their actions in relation to relevant safety alerts for the purposes of CQC compliance.

A locally produced list of recent safety alerts has been provided below that practices may wish to use as a "checklist" to assist with their record keeping and awareness. The list will be updated regularly and circulated with the MMM! Newsletter from the Medicines Management Team
