Managing medicines in your home is very important. A Home Medication Review involves an accredited Pharmacist visiting a patient at their home, and reviewing and reporting on their medicine routine to their GP.
The objectives of Home Medication Reviews are to achieve safe, effective and appropriate use of medicines by detecting and addressing medicine-related problems that may be interfering with a patient’s desired outcomes. Home Medication Reviews provide Pharmacist’s and GPs with a comprehensive understanding of your current medication regime, helping to improving your quality of life and health by using a best practice approach.
