Medication Management
Keep ambient (room temperature) medicines in a cool, dry place. Refrigerated medicines should be stored between +2°C and +8°C, and must not touch the sides or back of the fridge. Please do not freeze any medication.
Ancillaries such as syringes, needles and alcohol wipes will be provided with your medication. Sharps bins are provided upon request. If you are still unsure, please check your treatment plan or ask your healthcare professional.
If you feel your injection device is not working, please contact your nurse or pharmacy team for guidance. Your nurse or pharmacy team will advise you on what to do, and will contact us to deliver a replacement if necessary. Please also make us aware if possible.
If you feel unwell, please reach out to your prescribing clinician as soon as possible. They are best placed to support you and ensure you receive the right care.
