I'm considering reporting an issue to the Yellow Card scheme. What types of healthcare products can I report, and what are the main reasons my report would be important to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)?
Navigate to yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk. Identify the types of healthcare products that can be reported to the Yellow Card scheme. Navigate to the 'About the Yellow Card scheme' page. Identify the main purposes or outcomes of submitting a Yellow Card report to the MHRA from both the 'Home' page and the 'About the Yellow Card scheme' page. Synthesize the identified product types and at least two key purposes/outcomes of submitted reports.
State that medicines, vaccines, medical devices, blood products, and e-cigarettes can be reported. Accurately describe at least two key purposes or outcomes after a report is submitted, such as: reports help the MHRA gain a better understanding of medicine interactions, safeguard patients through vigilant monitoring, and/or help the MHRA identify new safety issues as early as possible.
