Medication Reviews
Medication review dates are given for the benefit of the patient. Please ensure that when your review date is due, you make an appointment with the nurse for blood tests if required (if unsure please ask at reception) and then with a doctor. This enables the doctor to ensure that your prescribed medication is still appropriate for your medical needs.
