Make the switch: New NHS campaign tackles medicine myths

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside has launched ‘Make the switch’ - a new regional campaign tackling common myths around switching medications, to help patients feel confident about using other versions of their medicines. 

Across the NHS, huge numbers of patients have been successfully switched to different versions of their medicines to treat their health conditions. But research shows that many patients have concerns about switching - often based on misunderstandings about quality, safety, or effectiveness.  

The new campaign ‘Make the switch’ directly addresses these barriers - increasing understanding of how different medicines work, the benefits of switching medicines, and the robust safety and quality standards they must meet.
