Each year, 1.6 million items of medicines are prescribed unnecessarily each year in Coventry and Warwickshire. We’re asking people to help us reduce this number by ‘Only Ordering What You Need’.
- 10% of medicines prescribed nationally are not needed
- In Coventry and Warwickshire we spend £11 million a month on repeat medications
- Speak to your pharmacy team about only ordering what you need.
