Medication Review
Personal medicine reviews to improve safety and outcomes.
Understand your medicines clearly.
What is a Medication Review?
A medication review is a private consultation where a trained pharmacist goes through every medicine you take—prescription, over-the-counter and supplements. We assess whether each medicine is working, check for interactions or side effects, simplify timings where possible and answer your questions. The aim is to improve effectiveness, reduce problems and make your routine easier. After the review you will receive clear written advice and, when appropriate, we will liaise with your GP to update your care plan. Reviews are suitable for anyone on multiple medicines or with concerns.
Benefits of our structured reviews
Benefits of a Review
Our structured reviews focus on practical outcomes: identifying medicines that may be causing problems, confirming the right doses, and finding ways to make regimens easier to follow. We spend time listening to your experience, answer questions about what to expect and provide written guidance to take home. If we spot issues that need medical assessment, we provide a clear summary for your GP. Reviews are non-judgemental and intended to make medicines safer and more effective for daily living.

Making Medicines Easier
If adherence is difficult we offer simple strategies: pill organizers, reminder plans, and dose simplification where clinically appropriate. We explain side-effect management and when to seek help. For many patients a single review reduces confusion and prevents avoidable problems. We also provide written summaries so you and your GP have a clear plan to follow after the consultation.
