Medicines Use and Safety
The Medicines Use and Safety Network (MUSN) is a group of clinical practitioners from all sectors with the aim of sharing and learning from the experiences of its members – a “do once and share” approach. Learning events are held typically twice a year on topical subjects. The next meeting will be held in the autumn of 2017. To join MUSN email LNWH-tr.MUS-SpecialistPharmacyService@nhs.net
