Medicine use reviews are a part of the Advanced Services of the community pharmacy contract. This will involve the pharmacist conducting a structured review with the patient about their medicine use. The aims of this service are to improve patients’ knowledge, concordance and use of medicines.

A medicine use review is a chance for you to review the medication you are taking with one of our pharmacists. This is a structured review to help you manage your medication effectively. The review is a chance to ask any questions about your medication, understand the medication, identify problems and reduce medicine waste. You will be provided with a report of the review and a copy of this report sent to your GP if their is anything to consider or change. An MUR is available to anybody that is prescribed medications from their doctor on a regular basis. These reviews normally take place for patients with more than one medication or medication that falls under a high-risk category. The review can help to prevent any problems and put your mind at rest over the medication you are taking.

If you’re prescribed new medication from your GP you can speak to your pharmacist about this to get extra help, this is a free scheme called New Medicine Service (NMS). There are a number of reasons that you might need further information on taking your medicines, including managing side effects. The NMS provides you early support to highlight any problems you may be having with your medicines and identify solutions to these problems. As you are prescribed new medication from your GP there may have been questions you forgot to ask or questions that have arisen after the GP visit. The NMS is the perfect time to get these questions answered. These appointments with your pharmacist are confidential and will be held in a separate consultation areas.
