Additional Services

This pharmacy promotes quality use of medicines by providing information to assist consumers in making informed decisions about their medicines. We provide consumer information with all new medicines, when there is a change in CMI information or dosage form, when the medication requires special information or instructions and when you request it.

We can organize an accredited pharmacist to conduct a Domiciliary Medication Management Review if you require one. These DMMR interviews are conducted at the location of your choice.

We also provide Dose Administration Aid (DAA) via the Webster care System to assist in the safer administration of medications. Patients with difficulties in taking their medication on a regular basis would most likely benefit from this system.
