Who are we?
The Medication Safety Stream is a network of SHPA members who have an interest in medication safety. Some members work in dedicated medication safety roles: either within or linked to a health service, for a hospital network, or at a state or national level. Other members of the Medication Safety Stream may not have a dedicated role in medication safety but have an interest in medication safety and how it contributes to safe patient care in their specialty.
Why join?
