How you can encourage medicines optimisation in cardiovascular disease

摘要

MEDICINES optimisation is all about supporting patients so that they get the best possible outcomes from their medicines. It is about talking and engaging with individuals to understand their beliefs and concerns about their medicines and what they would like their medication to achieve. It is also about ensuring that the medicine chosen is clinically appropriate, safe and effective and will help patients to achieve their goals, and about supporting patients to continue to use their medicines in a way that fits with their lifestyle.
