Medication support
Help keeping your medication on track
About this care
Medication support offers help with the routines around your prescribed medicines. You might need a reminder at the time or assistance with packaging. We’ll discuss what you can manage and agree on the support you need.
We’ll follow the instructions from your prescriber and record the help we give. Your care plan will set out what your carers can assist with, keeping you involved and clarifying when advice from your pharmacist or healthcare team is needed.
What we can help with
We’ll assess your needs and agree on suitable support for your daily routine, which may include:
Reminders at agreed medication times.
Help reading labels and opening packaging.
Assistance taking medicines, where assessed and agreed.

How it works
Getting started begins with a conversation. We’ll listen to what matters to you, explore your options and make a plan together.
I usually manage my tablets myself, but I sometimes lose track of the time. Having a reminder during my visit helps me keep to my routine. We agreed on the help I needed without taking everything over.
