       What is the impact on patient safety of Pharmacist-led repeat
       prescription management services?
       It has been demonstrated that safety is improved for some
       patients because prescribing errors are identified and
       corrected, including some with the potential for serious harm.
       Although not quantified, it is believed that the service has led
       to improved medicines adherence. NICE guidance estimates that
       30–50% of patients with long-term conditions do not take
       their medicines as recommended (NICE 2009).
