The Information for the Public explains what the recommendations in the guideline mean to you. NICE has suggested some questions which you may wish to ask when discussing your medicines or condition with your care team. These include:
How often should my medicines be reviewed?
Who sees the information about the medicines I am taking or using?
What are the benefits of using a self-management plan?
Can you tell me more about using patient decision aids?
What do I do if I think I no longer need to take a medicine that I am prescribed?
If you would like to know more about NICE guidance, see the NICE website.
