Medschecks
Do you have trouble managing your medications?
Have you recently started a new medication and want to know more about it?
A MedsCheck provides a one-on-one consultation with a Pharmacist in the Pharmacy to learn more about your medicines and improve your use of your medicines. You will be provided with an accurate and detailed list of all medications. This can be given to other Doctors and Specialists that you see so that they know exactly what you are taking.
Home Medicines Review (HMR)
Do you have a complex list of medications?
Do you feel that you take too many tablets?
Your doctor can refer you for a Home Medicines Review (HMR).
This is a “step up” from a Medscheck and involves a comprehensive review of your medicines. It is completed in your home by an accredited Pharmacist on referral from your Doctor.
The review will help you have a better understanding of the medication that you take and allow time for the Pharmacist to answer any questions you have about your medication.
Dose Administration Aids (commonly known as “Webster Packs”)
Do you ever forget to take your medicine?
Do you accidentally miss doses?
Dose Administration Aids may be just what you need.
This service provides you with all your medication (including any vitamins or non-prescription medicines) in a weekly dosing pack. They are packed by a Pharmacist and have a detailed description (colour, shape and markings) of all medications on the back of the pack.
Medadvisor
Medadvisor makes medication management easier by organising all your medications and scripts on your smart phone or tablet.
Medadvisor connects to Blue Cross Pharmacy to provide automatic details of your medication, scripts and repeats.
It can remind you when you need to take each dose, fill your script or see your doctor for a new script.
