When you are prescribed a new medicine for a long-term condition, it can be a lot to take in. The New Medicine Service is a free NHS programme where our pharmacist supports you over the first few weeks to ensure you are taking your treatment correctly and managing any side effects.
How The Service Works: Expert Guidance When Starting a New Treatment.
This service is typically for conditions such as asthma, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or blood-thinning conditions. We will have a follow-up chat with you a few weeks after you start your medicine to answer any questions and ensure the treatment is working for you.
