Why is this service important?
When you are discharged from the hospital, your medications may have changed—some may have been stopped, others started, or doses adjusted. This service is designed to:
- Prevent Errors: We double-check your new discharge list against your previous records.
- Provide Clarity: We explain exactly how to take your new medications and what they are for.
- Ensure Safety: We help reduce the risk of readmission by identifying potential medication issues early.
How it works
How do I get started?
You don’t need to do anything. Simply ask the hospital staff to nominate one of our pharmacies as your chosen pharmacy upon discharge. They will send the information to us automatically, and we will contact you once we’ve reviewed your records.
