Medication Safety in Mental Health

This study undertaken by the University of South Australia, focused on medication safety issues in mental health in hospital and community settings.
The study found that existing medication safety practices and strategies may not be in widespread use across mental health services in Australia.  Consumers and carers want more personalised information about their medications, a need to be more engaged in shared decision making around treatment options and monitoring of side effects of medications has found to be inadequate.
