Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, practice nurse or clinical pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Reviewing your medicines to make sure you are getting the best treatment

Medicines are prescribed to treat symptoms or diseases. When you are prescribed a medicine you should be given clear information on:

  • How to take the medicine
  • The possible side effects
  • How long to take the medicine for
  • When to stop taking it, if appropriate

We review your medication to check that you are taking the medicine in the correct way and also to check to see that the medicine is treating the condition properly, that the dose of medicine is still right for you and that the medicine is not causing you any problematic side effects.

Is there someone who helps you take your medicines (for example, a family member, friend or carer)? It may be helpful to bring them with you to your review.

Please ensure that you book your appointment with your usual Doctor who takes responsibility for prescribing your medication.
