Do you struggle with your medicines?

The NHS wants to hear your personal experiences as a patient or carer to help produce a national NHS report for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. The aim is to improve how the NHS manage and prescribe medicines and how people are supported to take them properly. In some cases, this may also include how people can be supported to stop taking medicines that are not working for them.

Who should apply?

They are looking for a diverse cross-section of people for this informal event which will enable you to discuss your ideas with other people who have similar issues:

• People taking 5 or more different medicines in total
• People who have long term health conditions
• People who have issues with their medicines.

They guarantee that:

• The final report will not mention your name and your contribution will be confidential
• Details of your involvement will not be shared with your GP or anyone else

Please note this event does not offer you the chance to review your own personal prescriptions.
