A managed switch

How we help, in practice

Situations every care home knows, and what we do about them

These are the moments that decide whether a pharmacy makes a manager's week easier or harder.

Friday, 4:40pm

A resident is discharged from hospital with new medication

What we do

We get the discharge letter, check it against the existing medication, query anything that doesn't match with the ward or GP, and deliver what's needed so the weekend rounds aren't disrupted.

Tuesday, 10:15am

The GP prescribes an antibiotic after a home visit

What we do

We collect the prescription from the practice ourselves and arrange an urgent delivery, so the first dose isn't left waiting until tomorrow.

Any time

A resident needs end-of-life or anticipatory medicines

What we do

We treat it as a priority, work with the district nurses and GP, and keep the home updated until the medicines are in place.

Cycle week

Repeat prescriptions are missing or don't match

What we do

We spot it before dispensing, chase the practice and tell you what's outstanding, instead of you finding gaps when the delivery arrives.

Inspection due

The Care Inspectorate is visiting

What we do

Clean, matching records between what we supply and your eMAR, and support from our team if medication questions come up.

Group level

Head office wants one consistent pharmacy across several homes

What we do

One onboarding plan, the same standards in every home, a named contact for each manager, and a single point of contact for the group.
