Research suggests that medication errors are more common in children and young people than in adults, as well as being more likely to cause harm. It is therefore vital that pharmacists across all sectors have the appropriate knowledge and skills to feel confident when treating this vulnerable patient population.
This quiz has been designed to complement the new paediatric health hub page. It is divided into three categories: medicines, conditions, and safeguarding and wellbeing. Each question includes a link to a relevant Pharmaceutical Journal article providing more information on the topic. Work your way through the quiz by expanding the questions in the boxes below. When you have answered all the questions, select ‘Finish quiz’ at the bottom of the page to see your score.
