Log a safety alert

1. Open Home, Medicines, Safety Alerts.
2. Tap Log an alert (Add on a phone).
3. Fill in Received, Source and What it is about. Add the alert’s reference if it has one.
4. Under Applies here, choose Yes, No or Under review. Say what was done under Action taken, and who decided.
5. Fill in Closed once everything is done, then tap Save.

An alert that applies here stays red until it’s closed. One that doesn’t apply still needs the decision recorded, with a name and date.

When it’s done

The alert is listed on Safety Alerts with what was done, and turns from red once it’s closed.

If it doesn’t work

• Save does nothing: Received, Source and What it is about are needed.
• You’re not sure it applies: choose Under review and come back to it.
• You need to name someone: use initials in Action taken and Notes, never names.
