A member tool
One place for the medicines, the doses and the times.
Here is one, filled with a sample.
The medications shown are a sample to show how the diary works. They are not real and are not medical advice.
You can start your own with a membership.
Some medicines do not stay the same. A dose steps down over a fortnight, a course runs for a set number of days, or a standby plan sits ready in case things flare. Put the steps in once and the diary shows the right step on the right day, and tells you where you are up to: step two of four, day six. Nobody has to hold a paper schedule in their head at three in the morning.
Running out over a weekend is a crisis, not an inconvenience. Tell the diary what the box held and when it was started, and it works out roughly how long that lasts at the current schedule, then says something well before the day it matters. It estimates from the schedule. It does not count what is physically left in the box and never claims to, because a confidently wrong number is worse than no number at all.
Care is rarely one person. A read-only view opens with a single link, with no sign-in needed at the other end, so a district nurse doing a handover or a sibling taking the night shift can see what has been given and when. You choose who gets a link and you can withdraw it at any time.
An email arrives when a scheduled dose is due. Medicines given only as needed have no clock, so they are never shown as due and never chase you. That distinction is deliberate: an as-needed medicine is given in response to symptoms, never to a timetable, and treating it like a timetable would be wrong.
The diary records what you and the doctor decided. It never suggests a dose, and it never stops you recording one you have given. If something about a medicine does not seem right, the palliative care team or the prescribing doctor is who to ask.
For the wider picture, the guide to managing medications at home covers what to expect and how to work with the team around you.
The guides, the specialist finder and the full checklist are free, always. The medication diary sits with the other tools for managing care day to day, and it saves to your account so it is there on any device and can be shared with the people helping.
