Toolkit

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has been working together with stakeholders to improve patient outcomes and patient-centred care with the better use of multi-compartment compliance aids (MCA), also known as monitored dosage systems (MDS).

It's important that the assessment and selection of intervention options to help maintain healthy independent living are be patient-centred, therefore the use of MCA must not be regarded as a universal solution.

This section of our website has been created as a repository of MCA information where our work on MCA can be downloaded, and links to other key related documents impacting upon the best-use of MCA are available.
