BSR is calling for a Parliamentary investigation into the Homecare Medicine Delivery Service to tackle delays which are having an impact for patients and clinicians.
You can amplify our action by emailing your local MP or MSP to ask them to support our campaign. There are a few simple steps:
- Open our template letter and copy the text
- Head over to the 'Write to them' site
- Enter your postcode, then find and select your MP/MSP
- Paste in the content of our letter into the box, making sure you leave the pre-populated 'Dear MP/MSP' text in tact
- Fill in some brief details and hit 'preview and send'
If you need any help or guidance on using the 'Write to them' tool please drop us an email at policy@rheumatology.org.uk
Helping your letter to stand out
If you have directly witnessed issues with the Homecare Medicines service you can amend our template email, sharing your own frontline experiences and detail why this campaign matters to you. This will help politicians understand the impact and why it's important for them to support locally and nationally. Politicians prefer to respond to unique correspondence.
Help us to track progress
It would be great to hear from you if you have supported our campaign and particularly if you receive a response from your MP/MSP. Please let us know and share any responses at policy@rheumatology.org.uk
