Why medicines safety matters
Medicines don't magically appear on shelves for purchasing or dispensing. Behind every tablet or injection is a complex system of NHS policies, procedures, pharmacy checks, and clinical decisions designed to keep patients safe. At the Medicines Optimisation Research Group (MORG) at the University of Bradford, we study how medicines are used in the real world, and how they can be used more safely and fairly.
‘They Take the Mum Off You When You Come In’: An Ethnographic Study of Parent Experiences of Medicines Safety Systems in English Hospitals
1 Introduction Medication safety is a continuing challenge for healthcare systems. It is estimated that 6% of patients suffer severe avoidable harm during their care, and 25% of these events are related to medication [1]. Harm is common among hospitalised children, and is estimated to currently affect between one and two per cent of patients [2].

Incidence and nature of adverse drug events in paediatric intensive care units: A prospective multicentre study
What is already known about this subject The risk of adverse drug events (ADEs) may be greater in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) than other general hospital wards. There is lack of evidence concerning the burden and nature of ADEs in PICUs. What this study adds One in six PICU patients experienced one or more ADEs. The majority of ADEs in PICUs are preventable and likely to occur in patients with increased length of stay.

Mapping the prevalence and nature of drug related problems among hospitalised children in the United Kingdom: a systematic review
Abstract Background Problems arising from medicines usage are recognised as a key patient safety issue. Children are a particular concern, given that they are more likely than adults to experience medication-related harm. While previous reviews have provided an estimate of prevalence in this population, these predate recent developments in the delivery of paediatric care.

Incidence and prevalence of intravenous medication errors in the UK: a systematic review
Objectives Medication error is the most common type of medical error, and intravenous medicines are at a higher risk as they are complex to prepare and administer. The WHO advocates a 50% reduction of harmful medication errors by 2022, but there is a lack of data in the UK that accurately estimates the true rate of intravenous medication errors.
A national scoping survey of standard infusions in paediatric and neonatal intensive care units in the United Kingdom
This study aimed to explore the use of standard concentration infusions for intravenous infusions (SCI) in paediatric and neonatal units in the United Kingdom (UK). This included how many units use SCI, variation and overlap in concentrations, devices in use for administration and how the infusions were provided. Paediatric and neonatal units in the UK were surveyed using a self‐administered web‐based survey tool.

Reinventing the rural: a new perspective on our countryside
Ever since cities were created there has been a migration to them and away from the country. This continues to be the case despite our ever more romantic vision of the rural – only recently have we seen marginally more people migrating to the country. This phenomenon illustrates our desire to be together as a collective, and to escape from the elements, the outdoors, manual labour and mud – a reality that can be seen as chaotic, dysfunctional, confused, and deeply contradictory.
Reinventing the rural: a new perspective on our countryside
The new vision created by urban dwellers of the green land is far more rural than the countryside itself Ever since cities were created there has been a migration to them and away from the country. This continues to be the case despite our ever more romantic vision of the rural – only recently have we seen marginally more people migrating to the country.
