Patient Medicines Information Chart

What is a patient medicines information chart?

A medicines information chart tells you:

• which medicines you take
• when you take them
• what each medicine is for.

You will be given one of these if you are self-administering some or all of your medicines as an inpatient. The chart will be kept up-to-date. If any of your medicines change, ward staff will have a conversation with you about the changes and alter your chart accordingly.

Staff will complete this medicines information chart.

I have a question about my medicine(s) but I have left the hospital, who should I call?

If you have any further questions about your discharge medicines after you have left the hospital please telephone the hospital pharmacy on 01305 255294, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, or speak to your community pharmacist.
