Your pack is individually prepared for you by our pharmacists, based on information provided by you and your GP. The pharmacist will be happy to answer any questions that you might have about your pack.

You, your GP and our pharmacist work as a team to ensure you get the most out of your pack to help you take your medicines optimally.

We also support eligible DVA patients with a free medication packing service.

We can prepare a Medicine Pack of you at any time, for short periods or ongoing.

“The Home Medicines Review (HMR) programme aims to enhance the quality use of medicines and reduce adverse medicines events. This is undertaken through a comprehensive medication review conducted by an accredited pharmacist in the patient’s home.”

The Home Medication Review service is free to eligible patients following a referral from your GP. The Accredited Pharmacist will then schedule an appointment to meet with you and/or your carer at a suitable time, in the comfort of your home.

The objectives of a HMR are to:

• Achieve safe, effective, and appropriate use of medicines by detecting and addressing medicine- related problems;
• Improve quality of life and health outcomes using a best practice approach, that involves co-operation between you, your GP, pharmacist, other health professionals;
• Facilitate cooperative working relationships between members of the health care team in the interests of your health and wellbeing; and,
• Provide medication information to you and other health care providers involved in your care

If you would like further information about our HMR service, please contact the pharmacy admin@swhpharmacy.com.au

Approval to access these medicines is required by law, upon application by a doctor. Access is granted on a case-by-case basis depending on patient circumstances.

Patients are grouped into two categories for these applications:
