Services
As a Home Medicines Review (HMR) pharmacist, I offer a range of services that work in optimising medication management to ensure treatments are safe, effective, and suited to each individual's health needs. Collaborating with GPs, specialists, and healthcare providers, I conduct comprehensive reviews, addressing drug interactions, side effects, and deprescribing. I also provide guidance on medical device usage and specialise in aged care and polypharmacy management.
Comprehensive Medication Review
A comprehensive review of medications is conducted to ensure they are safe, effective, and tailored to individual health needs. This process includes assessing potential drug interactions, identifying side effects or adverse reactions, and exploring opportunities to simplify or optimise the regimen. Each medication is carefully evaluated in relation to the patient’s condition, lifestyle, and treatment goals to enhance adherence and improve therapeutic outcomes. Recommendations focus on reducing unnecessary medications, minimising medication-related harm, and ensuring the regimen aligns with the latest evidence-based practices.
Personalised Medication Management
A comprehensive approach to medication management ensures that every aspect of the treatment plan is designed to support overall well-being. By collaborating with GPs, specialists, and the healthcare team, medications are integrated into a streamlined, effective routine that reduces complexity and enhances therapeutic outcomes. Whether through dosage modifications, coordinated medication timing, or regimen simplification, the focus remains on making medication management easier while maintaining effectiveness. Clear guidance and patient education empower individuals to take control of their treatment, addressing concerns about side effects, drug interactions, and adherence, fostering confidence in their care.
Tailored Device Counselling
For individuals using medical devices such as asthma inhalers, blood pressure monitors, or blood glucose meters, personalised guidance and counselling are provided to ensure correct usage. Best practices are outlined to maximise benefits and establish proper techniques, helping these devices effectively support healthcare needs.
