MURs and the NMS at discharge

This CPD module provides an overview of MURs and the NMS at discharge.

This CPD module considers the transfer
of patients and their medication from secondary care to primary care and how this can be supported with the provision of medicines use reviews (MURs) and the new medicine service (NMS) as part of medicines optimisation.

Learning objectives:

  • Be aware of the problems that can occur with patient medication after discharge from hospital
  • Understand how the NMS can help to improve patient care
  • Understand how MURs can also be of benefit after hospital discharge.
