To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Medicines for Children has worked with nurses from the children’s charity WellChild and Edge Hill University to produce 10 new instructional films to help parents/carers with giving medicines to their children.
The 10 films cover a variety of common ways to give different types of medicines, as listed below:
Medicines for Children is celebrating 10 years! To mark this special anniversary, we are calling for children and young people aged 18 or under from across the country to get creative as we launch an exciting drawing competition.
We are asking for them to create their own bright and beautiful ‘get well soon’ or ‘sorry you are poorly’ card that includes the things that make them feel better when they are unwell.
Medicines for Children is currently recruiting paediatricians (trainees and consultants), pharmacists (pre-registration and senior), prescribing nurses and other healthcare professionals to review some of our existing medication information leaflets.
Our medicines leaflets need to be regularly checked for accuracy, to ensure they are up to date and reflect the latest evidence.
We are always looking for parents and carers based in the UK to help us review our leaflets and the website. We need your help to make sure that our information is helpful and easy to understand. You don’t need any experience. It won’t take up too much of your time, and you can volunteer from home.
The Medicines for Children website has passed the quality assurance process by NHS 24. This telephone service and website provides comprehensive up-to-date health information and self care advice for people in Scotland.
