Dear Whiddon resident and families,
We want to advise you of an important change regarding our supply pharmacy.
As part of our continuous quality improvement program, Whiddon Easton Park will be implementing a new medication management system. This exciting new system will commence on Monday 28 February and is provided by Lane Cove Advantage Pharmacy.
The Medication Management System was developed after extensive consultation with key stakeholders including Aged Care Consultants, Doctors, Registered Nurses, Care Staff and Pharmacy Staff. The system was designed after reviewing many other medications systems and receiving feedback about existing systems and suggestions for improvement.
The system offers many benefits including:
- Automated Sachet Packaging
- Simplicity
- Minimal Manual Handling of Medication
- Time Saving for Nursing Staff
- Time Saving for Doctors
- Flexibility
- A System That is User Friendly
Lane Cove Advantage Pharmacy offers a complete Medication Management System for Residential Care Facilities offering consistency and peace of mind. There will be no cost to residents and their families for this new system, standard prescription costs will apply.
We will be making contact with each of you by either email, post or in person about these impending changes in the coming days, to provide you with details around this pharmacy.
We will provide contact details for the pharmacy in forthcoming communications in the case that you may have any questions regarding the new pharmacy.
Warm Regards,
Whiddon Easton Park Management
