A wide range of factors influence people’s adherence to medication, and the relative importance of these differ from person to person. This means that there is no one best solution for everyone. Instead, you will need to spend time with your health care team working out what kind of things help or prevent you adhering. One approach is to divide these issues into broad categories, such as:

• You and your medication.
• Your health care team and the kind of support they offer.
• The medicines you are taking.
