Preventable admissions cost the NHS £466 million
Have you ever suffered complications when you've switched doctors, or have gone from a practice to the hospital?

These small mistakes are costing the NHS around £466 million.
Research has shown that around four-to-five per cent of hospital admissions are due to preventable problems with medicines.
The following video looks at how this problem can be improved by new medical guidelines.
