New Medicine Service (NMS)
Comprehensive Support for Your New Medication
Starting a new medication can sometimes feel overwhelming, but at Dunchurch Pharmacy, you don’t have to do it alone. Our New Medicine Service (NMS) is a free, confidential service designed to provide you with the professional guidance and support you need to feel confident and secure with your new treatment.
What is the NMS?
The NMS is a specialized service for individuals who have recently been prescribed a new medicine for a long-term condition such as:
Asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions.
Type 2 diabetes.
High blood pressure (hypertension) or high cholesterol.
Conditions managed with blood-thinning medication.
The service is structured as a series of private consultations with one of our expert pharmacists, typically conducted over a few weeks, to ensure you are comfortable and informed.
