Supporting muslim patients: understanding halal considerations in medicines

09 May 2026
Showcase Theatre
Muslim patients in the UK regularly have concerns about the halal status of their medicines – yet most never raise them with their pharmacist or prescriber. They simply stop taking their medicines, silently. This session, delivered by HalalMed co-founders Nabiha Butt and Regina Ahmed, explores why faith-based medicines queries represent a genuine adherence and patient safety issue, not just a cultural one. Through real-world case studies –from a patient silently discontinuing omeprazole capsules, to a family facing a critical care decision – attendees will see how these conversations arise in practice and what confident, person-centred responses look like. The session introduces the HalalMed platform: a free, pharmacist-led resource offering an ingredient checker, colour-coded classification system, Islamic guidance library, and manufacturer email templates – equipping pharmacists to support informed, faith-aligned shared decision-making.
