AimsThe effect of a distance-learning package linked to educational credits on the rate and quality of spontaneous adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting by general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists in Wales was investigated.MethodsIn April 2000, 477 GPs and 261 pharmacists enrolled in the 12 month programme.ResultsThe number and quality of yellow card reports improved compared with those of a control region in England (Northern Region).ConclusionsWe conclude that an educational initiative in drug safety linked to incentives may be associated with a significant but perhaps short-lived improvement in the rate and quality of ADR reporting.
