Meet Mo. Mo is just like the rest of us.
The ‘Meet Mo’ video has been produced to encourage patients – who take several types of medicine – to book a review with their local pharmacist.
This is because, over time, people who take many different types of medicines for different reasons can find their treatments sometimes do not work well together.
A medicines review can help prevent trips to the GP or even hospital, and most importantly, help people feel better. A local pharmacist is a good place to have this conversation.
This video showcases why collaboration across the NHS works perfectly for the patient.
We enabled secondary care specialists to work in partnership with GP practices to provide care in the community and ensured a streamline patient journey linked to on-going care by the community pharmacist.

Repeat Dispensing is when a person who has a stable long term condition is prescribed up to 12 months of their medicines. These prescriptions are stored electronically and drawn down one at a time for dispensing over the set time period. The patient does not have to request prescriptions from the GP during this period. When the penultimate prescription is dispensed by the pharmacy, the patient is asked to see their GP for review and a new prescription.
