Medicines: Care and Review
The Chronic Medication Service (CMS) has been renamed Medicines: Care and Review (MCR)
MCR allows patients with long-term conditions to register with a community pharmacy of their choice for the provision of pharmaceutical care as part of a shared agreement between the patient, Community Pharmacist and General Practitioner (GP). It introduces a more systematic way of working and formalises the role of community pharmacists in the management of individual patients with long term conditions. MCR aims to improve the patient’s understanding of their medicines and optimise the clinical benefits from their therapy.
