Home Medicines Review
HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR MEDICINES?
- Do you really know and understand your medicines?
- Would you like to do better and get the best from your medicines?
You should then consider asking for a home medicines review
Would you like help managing your medicines?
Can you, or someone you know, answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions?
- Do you take more than five medicines a day?
- Are you confused or worried about your medicines?
- Do you sometimes forget to take your medicines?
- Do you see more than one GP or specialist?
- Have you recently spent some time in hospital?
If you answer Yes to any of these questions, a Home Medication Review can help.
How do I get a Home Medication Review?
Ask your GP, pharmacist, other health professionals or carers whether you would benefit.
Your GP will organise the HMR once you both talk and agree it would be of benefit.
More detailed information may be obtained from the Medication Management webpage.
