thanks...
Medicines Use Review, forms to fill in - copy sent to GP - and payment received for doing them.

Idea was to pay community pharmacy for the use of cognitive skills rather than just the supply function - payment requires paperwork - so MUR forms.

My main difficulty is that it's that it's stuff we do by talking to patients anyway.Formalising the process has made it a financial rather than patient or professional imperative.

I can't, however, think of a better way of encouraging payment for cognitive/clinical input.
