The New Medicine Service (NMS) is a service offered by community pharmacies to support individuals who have been prescribed a new medicine for a long-term condition. It aims to help patients better understand their medication, address any concerns or issues, and improve adherence to the prescribed treatment.
Pharmacists provide information about the new medication, discuss its purpose, potential side effects, and answer any questions the patient may have. The service typically involves follow-up consultations to monitor the patient’s progress, address ongoing concerns, and ensure the medication is being taken correctly.
