Chronic Medication

The NHS Chronic Medication Scheme service will be of particular benefit to those customers who take multiple medications on a regular basis, treating several different medical conditions, or any long term condition, such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure.

If you feel you could benefit from a review of your medication you will find the meeting with the Pharmacist relaxed, helpful and informative.
An NHS Chronic Medication Scheme Review is an ideal opportunity for both you and a pharmacist to discuss your overall medication needs in a friendly and informal way in a private consultation room within our pharmacy.
We will chat about

• The medicines you are taking
• What they do
• How well they work for you
• How to get the most out of them

Medicines work in different ways

• Some are taken before you eat to allow them to get into your system quickly.
• Some won’t work properly if they are taken with certain foods and herbal remedies or with other medicines.
• Some medicines must be taken with or after food because they may otherwise irritate your stomach.
• Some should not be crushed because they need to be released into your system slowly, and crushing them could allow them to get into your system too fast.

After a review we may find that certain medications are no longer required or that they should be taken at a different time of the day or perhaps in a different way.
