What is the New Medicine Service?

The New Medicine Service (NMS) is an NHS based service offered in most community pharmacies. It provides additional advice and support to those who have been prescribed a new form of medication to treat an already established long-term condition. It ensures those who are on the medication are adhering to the changes and finding their new medicine manageable.

Those prescribed new medication will be invited to a consultation with a pharmacist to ascertain how they are getting on with their new medicine.
