Medicines Use Review

For clients who have their prescribtions dispensed by us we offer a Medicines Use Review. This is a 20 minute appointment with a pharmacist to focus on how you are getting on with your medicines. It is a NHS service and you don't need to pay for it.

The meeting is to:

- Help you find out more about the medicines you are taking

- Pick up any problems you are having with your medicines

- Improve the effectiveness of your medicines; there may be easier ways to take them, or you may find you need fewer medicines than before.

- Get better value for the NHS.

The meeting is confidential and will be held in a private area within the pharmacy where you can sit down and can't be overheard by customers or staff. Your details will be kept private, and you can talk openly. A record of the meeting will be kept, and a copy given to you (and your GP with your consent).

Together you and your pharmacist will discuss all your medicines, what they are for and the best ways of taking them. If any problems or improvements are identified, an Action Plan will be agreed which will form part of the record.
