How to use this guide

Medicines & Supplies Organiser

This organiser keeps one accurate list of everything the person takes, a history of every change, a daily schedule, refills and supplies. It doesn't tell you what to take, or whether to start, stop or change anything.

On a phone, tablet or computer

Fill it in by typing

  1. Download the PDF from your email or from the download page.
  2. Open it in a PDF app that supports forms, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (free on computers, phones and tablets).

Common questions

Where do I start?
With "Current medicines & supplements". Copy each one exactly from the label or the latest prescription, including vitamins, supplements and things bought from a shop.
Why keep a timeline as well as the list?
The timeline records each change with the date and who made it, and nothing is crossed out or overwritten. It helps when someone asks "when did that change, and why?".
Who can check the list?
A pharmacist, the GP or the prescribing team. The organiser helps you gather the full picture for them.
I typed into it, but my answers had gone when I opened it again. Why?
Some previews, such as a browser tab or an email preview, can't save answers in a form. Download the PDF first, open it in a PDF app that supports forms, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, then save.
Is anything I write sent anywhere?
No. The PDF doesn't send your answers to Keep It Together Care or to anyone else. They stay in the file on your device, or on your paper copy.
