Medicines Management Service (Community)

Mersey Care’s Medicines Management Community Service is commissioned by Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCG) to provide support to Liverpool GP practices to improve the health of the population by optimising the use of medicines through:

  • Promoting the safe, evidence based and cost-effective use of medicines through medication reviews
  • Providing up to date, unbiased information about medicines, treatments and care pathways
  • Supporting practitioners and patients to make best use of medicines through medication reviews
  • Minimising the harm caused by medicines
  • Developing local guidelines and care pathways to optimise the management of conditions
  • Collaborating with local hospital trusts and other healthcare providers to support these aims

The team consists of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians using their experience and knowledge of medicines to ensure that patients within Liverpool get the medicines they need to effectively manage their condition.
