In order to alert health carers of the problems around drug administration, the Department of Health and National Safety Patient Agency (NPSA) issue reports and safety alerts, perhaps when mistakes have been made for shared awareness:

 Problems with missed doses,

 Promoting safer use/monitoring of patients on anticoagulant therapy (e.g. warfarin for deep‐vein thrombosis [DVT]),

 Promoting safer measurement and administration of liquid medicines,

 Promoting safer use of injectable medicines,

 Safer practice with epidural injections and infusions.
