Medicine Use Reviews, apparently. Supposed to be carried out on patients to make sure they are taking their tablets properly.
In practice, this is not the case.
Patient A has fucked lungs, diabetes, depression and would be an excellent candidate for an MUR, that is if I had a spare 30 minutes, which is a whole different story.
Patient B takes 75mg of aspirin every morning and is fairly intelligent. Does he really need an MUR?
The fact is, patient B will always be chosen, because he is easy, and he can be a box ticked, and another step on the ladder towards a target. There is shit-all patient care involved in this.
Fifty thousand ploughshares produced, comrades!

You do MURs on one-item patients?!
If only my dispenser was that kind!

My boss at Superduperdrug said to concentrate on one and two items scripts. "Quick win" and all tat PR bollocks.
Never once was anything said about teh patient, it's just £26 in teh bank, thanks very much.
Most of them are a complete waste of time. Non-evidence-based crap.
Superdrug? Blimey.
I won't work for them anymore. Too much perfume, vitamins, and zero staff who know what they're doing
