Discharge Medicines Review
The Discharge Medicines Review (DMR) service is a national service for patients in Wales. It builds on the existing Medicines Use Review (MUR) service and offers the opportunity to ensure that patients discharged from secondary care (e.g. hospital) to primary care (the GP) receive support and information relating to their medication.
It also gives the pharmacist chance to check that the medicines prescribed in one care setting match those prescribed by the GP. The aim is to reduce wastage, support patients and reduce medicines related re-admissions to hospital.
