HSE Ireland - Get Started: Know Check Ask for people who use medicines and their families

Summary

The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) has produced a selection of resources and guidance to help people use medicines safely. It offers information about the Know, Check, Ask campaign, encouraging members of the public to:

1. Know your medicines and keep a list
2. Check that you're using the right medicine the right way
3. Ask your health professional if you're unsure

The page also includes videos about:

• how to use the My medicines list tool designed to ensure patients and healthcare professionals know which medications and doses the patient should be taking.
• 5 moments for medication safety, a campaign linked to the World Health Organizations' WHO Medsafe app.
