EAASM Consensus Statement on Unlicensed / Off-Label Medicines
Following the publication of the EAASM report "When is a Medicine Not a Medicine", the Alliance held a stakeholder round-table in London. The main output from the meeting was a Consensus Statement on the patient safety implications around the use of unlicensed and off-label medicines.
The Consensus Statement calls for concrete actions to address what is a major loophole in patient safety. The EAASM ensured that every delegate to the European Health Forum Gastein received a copy of the original report and is now seeking additional signatories to the Statement.
You can access the Statement using the link below.
