Upcoming, nurses survey on medication shortage Medication shortage, we see it far too often in the nurses clinical practice, and it is expected to occur more often. In collaboration with @Medicine-for-Europe, this Spring a  scientific Survey with Medicine for Europe will be launched to idetify a number of aspects but abouve all:  - Identify the root causes of the shortages - In addition, we will aim at analysing the perception of the different stakeholders on the cause of the shortages - We will identify how the different stakeholders would like to be informed about the shortages and which information they require - The survey should be able to tell us which type of medicines are more frequently in shortage and why - Lastly, we might analyse how shortages can be prevented or mitigated. We'll keep you updated
