Research shows that when patients have a clear understanding of their medications, it can significantly reduce side effects, increase compliance, and maximise the benefits of their medication.

Patients who are well-informed about their prescriptions are more likely to take them as advised, leading to better management of chronic conditions and fewer hospital visits.

Do you have any questions or concerns about the medications you are prescribed? We have a practice pharmacist at Park View Group Practice who can help and has appointments available, please contact reception to book.
