I can handle ordinary packaging difficulties with some level of calm, but my personal nemesis is medication packaging. Jackie’s account shows her days beginning and ending with a concern to monitor her medicine supplies, and the vignettes describe how these three participants have devised weekly temporal patterns of organising their DIY-dosette boxes to support daily routines. If you're worried the person you care for could choke, or they're refusing to take their medicine, ask your GP or pharmacist if it can be supplied in a soluble or liquid form. Weekly prescribing is reserved for a small number of patients due to increased workload and costs to the NHS and is in line with the local Clinical Commissioning Group policy. This makes it easy for a patient to select the correct time and day, and push out all of their required medication for that time.

This means that your patients’ preferences and requirements can be matched to an operating solution. Marco says he knows ‘roughly’ what his tablets are, although a video-recording of one of his clinical consultations with his GP casts some doubt on how well he knows them by either name or purpose. This account offers some insight into the scale and complexity of the organisational work that polypharmacy presents and the range of professional considerations that are brought to bear as routines are developed to ensure that work proceeds as swiftly and safely as possible. Many participants expressed a sense of obligation and resignation with regards to taking medicines ‘as prescribed’, often expressing medicine-taking as a non-negotiable aspect of their lives. Once we receive your prescriptions from the surgery, our pharmacy dispenses and dispatches your medication.

Boxes received that contain tablets will need to be diverted to Energy from Waste (and therefore may not be recycled). He then puts them into his trouser pockets: left pocket for morning tablets and right pocket for evening tablets. However, it is important to clearly label the new bottle to prevent confusion about which medication it is or accidental ingestion. Caregivers can view detailed information about current and past blister pack adherence on their phone and computer.

The plastic is thermoformed into a blister with an aluminium resin tool before being placed into the sealing jig. Both Zac and Marco resist professional efforts to take over organising their medicines through the use of pharmacy-prepared MCCAs. And not only that, our pharmacists are on hand to offer advice on diet, lifestyle, and lots of other topics based on your medication history. He has no upper teeth and his dentures don’t fit as he is awaiting dental treatment, so despite his fondness for cooking, eating is difficult.

Although this may not be possible for all medications in blister packaging, it is worth asking the pharmacy personnel.

We now present three ‘telling cases’, 31 vignettes distilled from detailed longitudinal narrative case studies of each study participant.
