Discharge Medicines Service digital guide
Published on: 3rd December 2021 | Updated on: 20th May 2025
Community Pharmacy England has published a digital guide to the Discharge Medicines Service (DMS) for pharmacy owners.
The 26-minute guide features David Onuoha, Community Pharmacy England’s Service Development Manager, providing some background to the service, an overview of the service requirements, how referrals are sent to the pharmacy, a summary of the service stages and the remuneration for the service. David also covers a number of key issues such as training, record keeping and where pharmacy owners can find further information about the service.
The guide aims to offer busy pharmacy owners, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians an alternative way to ensure they are aware of what is required to provide the service and complements the other information and guidance available on our DMS webpage.
