Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Care Bundle toolkit
All the resources in the NSAIDs toolkit have been developed to help your pharmacy team consistently deliver the key safety messages and improve the safety of NSAIDs by ensuring patients have better information about how to take NSAIDs safely. The NSAIDs dispensing GPs pack is located here
