Welcome to the Ask About Medicines Website
Ask About Medicines is the independent campaign to increase people's involvement in decisions about their use of medicines. The Ask About Medicines mission is to achieve lasting change by working with partners to encourage better communication between people and their health professionals and change expectations so that asking questions about medicines becomes the norm.
Ask About Medicines Week 2007 ran from 5th-9th November, launching the theme of asking about medicines as we grow up. Materials available to download in order to help run a successful campaign included an Action Pack, PR Toolkit, Top Tips for Communicating with Teenagers, posters as well as a lesson pack and 'My Medicines' worksheet.
