Help with your medicines

Use the prompts that are helpful to you. You can write, draw, or ask someone to record your own words.

What do I want to manage myself?

Write or draw what you can do and what matters to you. This is a discussion sheet, not a medicine chart.

What makes medicines difficult?

Think about labels, packaging, timing, taste, swallowing, collecting supplies and support.

What must the pharmacist know?

Note allergies, swallowing plans or feeding tubes. Bring your current medicine list; do not invent new instructions here.

What options should we discuss?

Ask about packaging, reminders or different medicine forms. Ask about suitability and any cost.

Who will help with each task?

Agree responsibilities, permission to share information and a backup when the usual helper is away.

Who will explain the agreed instructions?

Ask for an accessible copy and a demonstration. Check that all relevant supporters have current instructions.

Who do I contact about a problem?

Record the pharmacy or prescriber contact. Ask about missed doses, unexpected changes and urgent supply.

When will we review this support?

Agree a date and what should trigger an earlier review.
