Services
Accredited pharmacies deliver across the UK deliver the Medicine Use Review (MUR) service. It involves a private patient-pharmacist consultation with the express purpose of improving patient's overall knowledge of the medicine they are taking. This is useful if you typically take several prescription medicines at once or have a long-term illness requiring constant medicine changes.
Every year, millions of us visit our GP surgeries for minor health problems that a local community pharmacy could help with. By visiting your local community pharmacy instead, you could save yourself time and hassle while lowing pressure on your GP so they can deal with other more complicated healthcare conditions.
The New Medicine Service (NMS) is an NHS based service offered in most community pharmacies. It provides additional advice and support to those who have been prescribed a new form of medication to treat an already established long-term condition. It ensures those who are on the medication are adhering to the changes and finding their new medicine manageable.
In order to help prevent the rising numbers of people developing the flu and its effects, vaccination against the flu is provided every year by the NHS to adults and children who are most at risk. If a healthy individual catches the flu, then there should be little concern for developing complications as it likely to clear up within a week or two.
When a pharmacist or GP prescribes a patient their medication, the prescriber has a duty of care to their patients. Safety of the patient is a necessity when they're consuming medication that is considered high-risk. Drug misuse has been and continues to be a prominent issue facing the health of the general public.
