Changes to the Scheme

As the Yellow Card Scheme has been running for more than 40 years, it has been necessary to make some changes in order to reflect changes in the healthcare system.

For example, nurses have an increasingly important role including prescribing of drugs, so this was an important profession to add to those that could report.  More recently, patients, parents and carers are also now encouraged to report suspected adverse drug reactions directly to the MHRA through the Yellow Card Scheme.
