This current toolkit is an update to the version of the toolkit on MUR published in December 2020. This new version frames MUR as a subtype of MR, defines each type of professional service and provides guidance on their implementation. Although it could seem that the difference between both services is subtle and mostly terminological, there is a significant conceptual difference between MR — a service where the healthcare team assesses a patient’s current medicines to optimise clinical, humanistic and economic factors—and MUR, where the emphasis is in the word “use”, and where pharmacists interact directly with patients to improve their medicines use, considering their preferences and, ultimately, optimising adherence to treatment
