‘Me and My Medicines’ is a campaign led by patients and supported by clinical staff to help people raise concerns and use their medicines better. It is generally accepted that only 50% of medicines are used as prescribed, resulting in poor outcomes of care. Half of those medicines that are not used as intended are because people intentionally decide not to use the medicines in the way they were prescribed, which presents an even greater challenge to achieving anticipated outcomes of health and wellbeing.  Having better-quality, equal conversations will help address this and ensure everyone benefits from more effective and safer care.
