All Wales self-administration of medicines framework
|
We want your feedback! As part of a wider review of the ‘Medicines Optimisation Framework’ we’re seeking feedback on a range of our AWMSG-endorsed medicines optimisation resources. Please take our short survey and share your feedback on the ‘All Wales self-administration of medicines framework’ resource. |
The purpose of this framework is to provide clear, standardised guidance to inform local policy to ensure that patients who self-administer their medicines at home can do so safely during hospital admissions. It also aligns with efforts to reduce hospital-acquired deconditioning and enhance patient autonomy as part of the Safe Care Collaborative.
