Want or would
I work on Elderly wards So i often need to ring their new place they are going to confirm their medicine supply:
We supply the medicines in original bottles and boxes or
In a tray called a dossette box which is known as compliance aid.
So when I ring this nursing homes and other places to establish their medicines supply preference- bottles and boxes or a tray.
How should I ask the question:
How do you want to supply the medicines- in original bottles and boxes or in a dossette box( a tray or a compliance aid)?
Can you say
would you prefer your medicines in bottles and boxes or a dossette box?
Thanks
