Medicines management for people receiving social care in the community (QS171)

This NICE quality standard was published in July 2018. It looks at assessing if people need help with their medicines and deciding what medicines support is needed.

It makes four statements on:

• Including medicines support needs in assessment
• Communication with GPs and pharmacies about patient support
• Recording medicines support in a patient’s care plan
• Raising medicine-related problems
