Choosing Wisely

Choosing Wisely is a way of working at Frome Medical Practice. It is about ensuring we understand what matters most to you and adjusting your care to reflect this. It is making sure that everyone is fully aware of all the steps we can take to best support your health and wellbeing, including those living with long-term health issues.

Frome Medical Practice work to give you the right care while being as sustainable as possible including cutting carbon emissions. We know that what is good for our health is good for the planet and often saves money for the NHS too.

Reducing unnecessary and wasted medication by making sure you have just what you need, and working with you so that medications including inhalers are disposed of safely rather than entering our rivers and landfill.
