Yellow Card Centre West Midlands is one of the regional centres of the Medicines and
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Our centre is based within City Hospital, Birmingham.
We are responsible for education and research concerned with Yellow Card reporting - one of the primary ways of discovering new adverse drug reactions to medicines and herbal products.
(Yellow Cards) from within the area covered by West Midlands Strategic Health Authority. We
publish an occasional bulletin, re:Action, and staff lecture throughout the Region on adverse drug reactions to doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. We are also happy to talk to patient groups. Patients can provide important insight into adverse drug reactions and are now able to report directly to the MHRA via the website and a freephone number 0808 100 3352. We cannot accept direct enquiries from the public.
If you would like our group to arrange a talk on adverse drug reactions and the Yellow Card scheme, please Contact us.
Other Yellow Card Centres are based in Cardiff
(for Wales), Liverpool (for the Mersey region), Newcastle upon Tyne
(for Northern and Yorkshire region), and Edinburgh (for
Scotland).
