MUR Support Pack

The Pharmacy Contract states that pharmacists should regularly conduct a Medicines Use Review (MUR), to engage, inform and advise patients about their medicine use and associated well-being.

MURs help patients use their medicines more effectively, and aim to improve the patients' knowledge and use of their medicines by:

Establishing the patient's actual use, understanding and experience of taking their medicines
Identifying side effects and drug interactions that may affect patient compliance
Reducing medicine wastage

Providing such services is a challenge for any pharmacy, but with help from AAH, it is one that is ideally suited to the independent - your knowledge of loyal customers and contacts with local GPs will make it easier for them to trust your experience and expertise.

The Pack Includes:

A letter template for you to use on your own stationery. The letter outlines the Medicines Use Review service you are offering to your patients, and should be presented personally to local GPs and other health care professionals
Medicines Use Review & Prescription Intervention Service Summaries
Two A3 double-sided posters and window suckers to place in your window
Two A4 posters and window suckers to place around your pharmacy
Four A4 GP posters each with a space for your to personalise with your pharmacy stamp and site in local GP surgeries
500 A6 leaflets to hand out and place in the bags of eligible patients. There is the option for you to personalise these on the reverse with your pharmacy stamp
250 appointment cards
A pad of Patient Record Forms on which to record patient details and findings. Each form (10 per pad) is a 4-part set, with the top copy forwarded to the GP, a copy for the patient, one to be retained by the pharmacist and the final copy for audit
A re-order form/price list
