Get the best from medicines

How to get the best from your GP

This page is for people with a mental health problem and for anyone involved in supporting or caring for them. There are some ideas for answers to questions we’ve been asked over the years, although they probably only apply to UK. There are no correct answers to many of these problems, but hopefully some of these ideas may be of use. If you’ve got any other or better ideas, please let us know.

Click here to print off the short guide on how to get the best from your GP.

The North Essex Partnership (NEPFT) Pharmacy supports service users, carers and staff by providing accurate and independent information and education about medicines. We offer a high quality and friendly service. The Trust has an in-house pharmacy in Chelmsford, and a team of pharmacists and technicians who are based on the wards at Chelmsford (the Linden Centre) , Colchester (the Lakes), Clacton, Harlow (the Derwent Centre) and Epping.

You will find a lot of information about medicines here and it is easy to search what you are looking for: however please let us know if it can be improved.
