Packaging and labelling that is clear and unambiguous can have a major contribution towards avoiding medication errors in hospitals. hameln pharmaceuticals ltd has redesigned all of its packaging and labelling with input from the MHRA and the National Patient Safety Agency. The design has been extensively researched and tested with UK hospital pharmacists, anaesthetists, and other key healthcare professionals. The packaging states all required and essential information clearly and uses additional elements such as symbols, stripes, and colour to differentiate between the products. EAN barcodes are standard on all packs.
