Blisters packs (Compliance Aids)

What is a blister pack?

A blister pack is a medication aid, which helps you take the correct tablets at the right time of day. They are usually made of recyclable cardboard and plastic and are organised by time of day and day of the week. This makes it easy for a patient to select the correct time and day, and push out all of their required medication for that time. 

Blister packs can help patients improve their adherence to their prescribed medication, and improve the quality of life.

Who is able to receive a blister pack?

Our blister pack service is available to people who are on NHS repeat prescription medications. It may be useful for people that struggle with remembering to order or take their medication at the right times.

We can organise your medication into the pack and deliver them to your home address every month.

How is a blister pack organised?

With our blister packaging, your tablets are organised into 4 weekly trays. Each week is separated into days. Each day is separated into:

• Morning

• Lunchtime

• Evening

• Bedtime

We organise your medications into their specific time slots for each day. For example, if you take one medication in the morning and at bedtime, we will put these tablets into the morning and bedtime slots for all 28 days. If you do not take any tablets at lunchtime, this slot will simply be empty.

We take away the hassle of organising your own medication. Some people can find it difficult to remember to take every tablet and it is common for people to miss a tablet occasionally. With our blister packs, we aim to make it easier to take your tablets and harder to miss a dose!

Our pharmacy dispensing team will organise your prescriptions each month from your GP.
