Correct answer: E — Healthcare professionals including pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and members of the public can submit Yellow Card reports to the MHRA

The MHRA Yellow Card scheme accepts reports from all healthcare professionals (including pharmacists, doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, and optometrists) and from patients and carers. Pharmacists play a vital role in pharmacovigilance and should report suspected adverse drug reactions, particularly those that are serious, unexpected, or involve newly marketed medicines (denoted by the Black Triangle symbol). Reports can be submitted online, by app, or on paper.
