If you take several different medications and find it hard to keep track, our blister pack service organises a whole week of doses into a single labelled tray. Available free to eligible patients.
Multi-compartment compliance aids — sometimes called blister packs, dosette boxes, or medication trays — are a simple way to keep complex medication regimes manageable. We prepare them fresh each week and either deliver or have them ready for collection.
Blister packs help people who:
Each blister pack covers a full week. The tray has 28 compartments — one for each dose time across the week (typically morning, lunch, tea, bedtime). Every compartment is filled with the right tablets for that exact dose, and labelled with the day and time.
Setting up a blister pack takes a couple of conversations and about a week of lead time.
The service itself is free. Standard NHS prescription charges still apply to the medications inside, unless you are exempt or have a Prescription Prepayment Certificate. We can advise on PPCs at sign-up.
Allow about a week from your first call to your first tray, while we coordinate with your GP. Once running, your tray is ready every week without further admin from you.
Yes, free local delivery is available to housebound patients across B29.
Just let us know, and we will adjust the next tray. Your GP usually copies us in on changes anyway.
Yes, any time. There is no contract.
