When a person is vulnerable to sudden deterioration and emergency hospital admission they are added to the Enhanced Care Pathway ( ECP ). ECP patients receive care and treatment from their GP practice and other community services such as district nurses and social services.
The ECP includes Rapid Response Services and Medicines Usage Reviews.
A Medicines Usage Review ( MUR ) is a service provided through a local contract with a Wandsworth Pharmacy (Pearl Pharmacy in Tooting) and local pharmacists within practices. It’s an annual review for people who take multiple medicines and particularly those receiving medicines for long-term conditions to check everything is still ok and gives people the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the medicines they are taking.
