Help the NHS to reduce medicines waste
‘together we can make a difference’
The local NHS is urging patients to carry out simple tasks to help reduce medicines waste.
These include checking how much prescription medication you have at home before ordering more and checking the expiry date on your medicines.
You can also get advice from a pharmacist around prescription medicines.
From September, patients can join a Digital Café for support and advice on using the NHS App to order your prescription medication – for details on times and locations of these Digital Cafés see here.
For further tips and advice visit the StayWellBOB website, which includes five short videos on how to reduce medicines waste.
