The Get to know your medicines kit has everything you need to plan and host a successful event in your community about Quality Use of Medicines (QUM).

The kit includes:

  • a guide to help organise and plan an activity
  • a guide to help promote the activity to encourage people to attend
  • a 24-slide presentation covering the things you and your community need to know and understand about medicines
  • a guide to help you collect feedback, including forms for people attending your activities to complete.

NPS developed the Get to know your medicines kit in collaboration with the Consumers Health Forum of Australia, National Rural Health Alliance and Health Consumers of Rural and Remote Australia.
