Guide to help evaluate medication reviews

A guide to help pharmacists running medication reviews and similar projects evaluate how effective their work has been has been launched by the Medicines Partnership.

The project evaluation toolkit consists of a printed guide. Supporting documents, including checklists and questionnaires, can be downloaded from the Medicines Partnership internet website (www.medicines-partnership.org).

The toolkit is designed for people planning or carrying out projects in the field of concordance. It is intended to help them plan how they will evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of their projects. It gives advice on the different variables that can be measured, the advantages and disadvantages of assessing each variable, and the best ways to measure them.

Copies of the toolkit have been sent to concordance facilitators in England only. Further copies can be obtained from the Medicines Partnership at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society on 020 7572 2474 (e-mail info@medicines-partnership.org).
