Before you take it…Know Check Ask Campaign

Know Check Ask

The Federation Ageing Well Committee are encouraging senior residents to Know, Check, and Ask about their medications before they take them. 

Do you know your medicines? 

Do you keep a list? 

Can you describe and discuss your medicines with healthcare professionals and family when you want to?

If you take medicines, you play a role in your healthcare when it comes to medicine safety. You know best what medicines you take and how you take them.

Older residents of the Federation Council can pick up their free ‘My Medicines List’ from participating pharmacies and medical centres in the Federation Council area or at any Council office.

Know your medicines and keep a list

Knowing what medicines you take and how you take them helps everyone involved to make correct decisions about your care.

Check your medicines to make sure you are taking them the right way

Medicines can help improve the quality of our lives in many ways, for example, by treating or preventing illness.

Ask your health professional if you are unsure about your medication

Communicating with your doctor, pharmacist and/or nurse is a really important part of making sure you get the most from your medicines.
