Aims:
- To promote the safe, appropriate and cost-effective use of
medicines across Manchester Mental Health and Social Care
Trust.
- To provide user-focused and cost-efficient pharmacy services
through agreements with acute hospital pharmacy departments and via
the use of specialist pharmacists and nurses.
The Medicines Management team endorses the views of the College
of Mental Health Pharmacists that;
- Appropriate drug therapy helps treat mental health problems,
minimises relapse and reduces suicide
- Medicines Management services aim is the safety of patients,
by making sure that people who need drugs get them and take them at
the optimum dose, and those that don't need drugs, don't get
them
- All mental health service users should have the support of,
and access to, independent education and advice about drugs,
preferably from a specialist mental health pharmacist or nurse.
