📢Join the next APTUK Medication Safety Branch meeting
📅Tuesday 25th August 2026
🕑7:30pm - 8:30pm

The Branch will be joined by our guest speaker Martin Sadr Kazemi - Deputy Superintendent Pharmacist at Rowlands Pharmacy and Medication Safety Officer & Chair of the Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group (CPPSG).

This session will provide an overview of Look-Alike, Sound-Alike (LASA) medicines, exploring why these medicines present a significant patient safety risk and the factors that contribute to LASA errors in practice. We will review common LASA medicine pairs, examine real case studies and key learning points, and discuss practical strategies to reduce risk at both an individual and system level. The session will also consider the evidence behind Tall Man lettering, highlight available LASA awareness posters and opportunities for promotion, and look ahead to emerging risks, including the impact of distractions in the pharmacy environment. The session will conclude with key takeaways to help pharmacy teams strengthen processes and reduce the likelihood of LASA-related incidents.
