Self-administration is a scheme that allows you to take your own medicines (or give medicines to the person you usually care for) whilst in hospital. It is also a chance to find out more about your medicines and how to take them.
Before taking part you can discuss with your nurse, pharmacist or doctor what self-administration involves and what benefits there may be for you (or the person you care for).
Self-administration is not compulsory and you do not have to take part if you do not wish to.
