Medicines use reviews (MURs)

Medicines use reviews should be renamed “medicines MOTs”

From Mr U. A. Patel, MRPharmS

Further to your Broad spectrum article on medicines use reviews (PJ, 16 December 2006, p732) , it is clear that MURs have caused a lot of confusion among pharmacists. So it is not surprising that the public have no clue what they are.

I suggest we call the MUR a “Medicines MOT”. This is a simple term that everyone understands. It could be followed by a publicity slogan: “Ask your pharmacist for your free medicines MOT”.
