New MHRA medical equipment leaflet launched

All hospital pharmacies in England should by now have received copies of a new leaflet for distribution to patients on the safety of medical equipment. The leaflet is written by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and lists common types of medical equipment that patients may use. Patients are encouraged to report any faults that they find directly to the MHRA, using the contact details given on the leaflet.

Further copies of the leaflet, including versions in languages other than English, can be obtained from PharmacyHealthLink by telephoning 020 7572 2265 or by emailing pharmacyhealthlink@rpsgb.org.uk.
