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 programmes for MUSN events in 2018 supported the implementation of the English response to the WHO Medication Without Harm Safety Challenge which was launched in the spring.
