Please note: In October and November 2010, the MHRA moved from its Market Towers address to a new location on Buckingham Palace Road. Please go to the contact us section of the website for updated contact details.

The MHRA has produced this poster which is designed to highlight the dangers of faulty medical equipment and how people can report problems.

Faults can be reported by phone, email or post although we prefer to receive reports via our online forms.

Leaflets with information on what to report and how to report it are available from healthcare outlets such as GP surgeries, pharmacies and hospitals.
The leaflet is also available to download from from the PDF document below.

The MHRA is working with community pharmacists, GPs and hospital out-patient departments to encourage public reporting and protect public health.

The MHRA handles 8,500 incidents related to faulty medical equipment annually, approximately 1,500 of which result in serious injury or death.
