Medication Reviews – improving the way you practice pharmacy.
Emmanuel Pippos, the founder of Check My Medicines, believes that community pharmacy provides a strong practice base where the individual pharmacist can develop and promote their clinical skills. After all, community pharmacists provide quality advice to many patients for a diverse range of health problems every day – especially with regard to the many prescription medicines, OTC products and complementary medicines that patients take regularly.
By becoming accredited with the Australian Association of Consultant pharmacy to conduct Medication Reviews, it is possible to expand and develop your scope of practice in community pharmacy. More importantly, the advanced learning that you achieve as accredited pharmacist provides a great opportunity to give your patients concise and quality advice in a community setting which usually places great demand on the individual pharmacist at any given time.
“You need about 60 minutes to do the best Home Medicines Review possible, because it takes that long for the patient to get to know you, and for you to really get to know the patient.” Emmanuel Pippos, Consultant Pharmacist
