My tips for MURs:
1. Forget about giving them appointments: it doesn't work, they just don't stick to them. You need to catch them when they come in to collect their meds, and have the pre-populated form attached to their bags.
2. anyone with more than 8 meds: forget it, you'll be there for ages, and Lloyds won't thank you for it.
3. If you provide any enhanced services, such as EHC or smoking cessation: tag an MUR onto those consultations.
4. as for doing an MUR on anyone requesting a loan: in my branch it's not because the patient is disorganised that he/she needs a loan, it's because their surgery is! they regularly send scripts to the wrong pharmacy, or forget them in the printer, or the GP forgets to sign them, or they cancel a branch surgery without any warning...
And finally: whatever you do, don't do more than your weekly target, or Lloyds will get greedy and increase your target rather than patting you on the back... In the end, you'll make dispensing mistakes because you're rushing to do all those MURs...
Oh, and don't forget you have to get the patient to sign the MUR form, now (according to Lloyds' latest MUR SOP...)
