Seamless Care……or Careless Seams – reducing medication errors at interfaces

Medication errors are of immense importance because of the necessary suffering and cost they cause so the next PRIMM (UK & Ireland) meeting in London on 9th February is likely to generate much interest as it focuses on medication errors at the interface between clinical care. Many international abstracts have already been submitted to the meeting entitled "Seamless Care or Careless Seams - reducing medication errors at interfaces" which will be held at the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London

As well as showcasing new research, the meeting's program includes Professor Nick Barber of the London School of Pharmacy and star of the BBC TV's "Victorian Pharmacy" series speaking on "Medication errors at interfaces with care homes - drawing on the findings of CHUMS study", as well as Drs Mary Tully (Manchester University) and Maisoon Ghaleb (University of Hertfordshire) on hospital and GP interface related medication errors. Also speaking is Dr Rachel Howard of Reading University and Dr Lizzie Witherington from the Nottingham University Hospitals.

PRIMM (formerly DURG [UK & Ireland]) has been active in 2011 holding a meeting in London on "Ensuring Quality in Cash Strapped Times", and hosting an innovative forum in June including patients as both presenters and attendees meeting with healthcare professionals to debate the question "ADRs: Is the patient voice loud enough?".
