Glossary term
Yellow Card Scheme: The Yellow Card Scheme is the UK system for reporting suspected side effects or adverse reactions. NHS says patients can also report side effects through Yellow Card, not only through their medical team.
Why this term matters
A crucial practical safety term and one of the most publishable glossary entries.
UK medical cannabis context
NICE, NHS and GMC all point to MHRA Yellow Card reporting.
What not to assume
A Yellow Card report records suspicion; it does not by itself prove the medicine caused the problem.
Careful wording: Avoid suggesting only doctors can use it.
