MedSafetyWeek

About the campaign

During the annual #MedSafetyWeek, Uppsala Monitoring Centre teams up with medicines regulators around the world to encourage reporting of side effects. The next campaign will take place from 4 to 10 November 2024 on preventing side effects.

How to join

Medicines regulatory authorities and pharmacovigilance centres request tailored campaign materials. Everyone else can access generic materials from the campaign library.
