The Medicines Use Review (MUR) is a structured review that is undertaken by a pharmacist to help patients to manage their medicines more effectively.
The MUR involves the pharmacist reviewing the patient’s understanding of their medication, ensuring they know how their medicines should be used and why they must take them, identifying any problems and then providing feedback to the prescribe via the NHS MUR form. The patient also receives a copy of this form. An MUR is usually conducted once a year.
