Medicine Waste

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 across Bucks, Oxon and Berks West 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.
