Home MUR patient consent
From 1st October 2011 patients who want to receive an MUR must give signed consent for their information to be shared with the GP, PCT and NHS BSA. This change matches the patient consent arrangements for the New Medicine Service (NMS). The wording of a consent declaration which must be used in any consent forms is detailed in the document below and the PSNC templates can be downloaded for pharmacy use.
