In all of its 10 years SPSP has had strategies relating to safe use of medicines woven into each of its programmes. The creation of SPSP Medicines two years ago has facilitated learning and sharing across Programmes, Boards and Partnerships, leading to a renewed interest in medicines safety across transitions, innovations relating to high risk medicines and non-administration of prescribed medicines."
