ACCREDITED IN "QUALITY CARE PHARMACY PROGRAM"
Each of The Green Dispensary pharmacies is accredited in the "Quality Care Pharmacy Program", conducted by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. The "Quality Care Pharmacy Program" is a national accreditation system implemented in order to maintain high standards in healthcare for pharmacy customers. The Green Dispensary at Stirling is one of only a few pharmacies in Australia to achieve a perfect score in all three "Quality Care Pharmacy Program" reviews.
PATIENT PRESCRIPTION MANAGEMENT
The Green Dispensary pharmacies are able to help patients efficiently manage their prescription medication. It is safer for you and your family - plus it can save you time, effort and money.
SAFETY NET MANAGEMENT
There are new rules introduced by the Australian Government in early 2006. If you ask, your The Green Dispensary pharmacist can make you aware of the rules. This will help make sure that you don't miss out on savings that are offered by your national health scheme.
HOME MEDICATION REVIEWS
The Home Medication Review system was established to help doctors manage their patient medication intake. It is an ideal service for patients who have collected medication of a period of time and may not be familiar with 'what drug does what'. The HMR system calls for pharmacists to visit the patient's home to review their medication.
There is no cost to the patient.
The pharmacist looks at all drugs in the home, checking for compliance and possible drug interaction. They are able to dispose of old medicines and recommends to the doctor which drugs can be deleted from.
More and more doctors in South Australia are enquiring about the availability of Home Medication Reviews [HMR] in their local area. Your doctor may be interested to know that The Green Dispensary now has access to fully trained HMR pharmacists.
VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS
Apart from providing conventional pharmacy products and services, The Green Dispensary also offers its customers a comprehensive range of vitamins and health supplements.
Members of The Green Dispensary team are trained to give you advice on complementary medicines - the features, benefits and how they may interact with prescription medication.
The Green Dispensary has engaged the services of a Naturopath. Consultations are FREE, however we do advise that you book an appointment to avoid disappointment.
NO HARSH CHEMICALS
As part of The Green Dispensary commitment to healthy living, we undertake to provide our customers with a real choice - not found in many pharmacies. Each Green Dispensary pharmacy offers 'natural' hair care and skin care products. The formulae in each product varies, however, in general you can be sure to get products with 'no harsh chemicals' or 'made with organic ingredients' or 'no sulphur laureate'. Please check each product label for specific details.
